I'm not a former Marine, and even I am embarassed for the corp, based on Murtha's comments.
I can't be too angry at a person who appears to be verging on instability.
You have to understand that Murtha isn't an American, he is a DemocRAT.
GoodNight Chesty!
Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

My wife got so mad she shut it off and changed channels. - tom
While I do agree that Mutha sucks, his statement doesn't seem to be a call for retreat directed at the military. It's more along the lines of "bring our troops home" stuff. He isn't saying that any soldiers should cut and run, but rather that the President should order them to leave Iraq.
Because we in Congress are charged with sending our sons and daughters into battle, it is our responsibility, our OBLIGATION to speak out for them. That’s why I am speaking out.
Our military has done everything that has been asked of them, the U.S. can not accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. IT IS TIME TO BRING THEM HOME.
To Representative John P. Murtha (D-PA 12th District)
Sir, speaking as one former Marine to another it's with great dismay that I find you have chosen to advocate a 'cut & run' policy on Iraq. That is exactly the wrong signal that we should be sending our terrorist foe. In fact it is so wrong it borders on treasonous.
Your words, today, are giving our enemies aid and comfort and demoralizing our fine young servicemen and women serving in harms way in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm not sure what happens to people who aspire to be politicians and then end up in Washington, especially those that get re-elected time and time again ... but somewhere along the line they lose all sense of propriety, they become enamored with themselves and lose touch with everyday America. You, sir ... are completely out of touch. You should dig deep and find any remaining vestiges of the honor you once had as U.S. Marine and resign.
Sincerely,
I hear that even Mothra ashamed by these comments.
(Insert colorful, profanity-laced, cutting, yet witty DI monologue here)
Well I called Murtha's office today and read him the "riot act!"
I told him that the Marine Corps was not going to disgrace the memory of all those who paid the ultimate price and their families by "bugging out!" And that we would not leave until we had finished the job.
I also told Murtha's office that Murtha disgraced the Marine Corps today and that he should resign.
Semper Fi,
