No self respecting veteran of ANY war could ever possibly say the kind of crap the Murtha has spewwed forth with. This is ESPECIALLY true with a honest to goodness veteran of the Vietnam War, since they would know first-hand just what a deleterious effect these kind of pronouncements could and would have on the morale of the troops in the field.
It is more than plain and obvious that Murtha is doing this for political gain, thus making him beneath contempt.
I say this as a veteran of the U.S.M.C. having served from 1969 - 1971.
Thank you for your service Howie66.
