Why is it so offensive to a liberal to be asked to show some integrity?

Its not, but begs the question, why now? Why not earlier? Is it for honor or petty revenge for making Moonbat comments.

The Marine Corps taught me to shape the battlefield, pick key terrain. Fight smart. Going after Murtha's Medal Hoax[?] is falling for a feint. Instead, take him down locally when he runs again.

IMO, it isn't just for making Moonbat comments.

Do you see a difference between the Vietnam Moratorium and Code Pink?

This is an on the spot correction for me. If I would have found out earlier I would have been pinging of the deep end the second this became public. Being a soldier worthy of respect and a congressman serving the public is a full time job. No free passes or quid pro quo. If he wants to play those politics he had better not use his military record to bolster his career. This Chief, for one, will call him on it.

Shame on anyone that knew or suspected and said nothing. Shame on Murtha for not laying it on the line and letting the chips fall where they should. This probably never would have seen the light of day if Murtha hadn't been making his stupid comments. If he thinks he will discredit anyone for attacking him on this he is as out of touch as the rest of his party. They don't scare me, and the fear of what the dems might do or say in retaliation for being called to task for any of their treasonous acts is all the ammo they have. Just a lot of hot air.

Come on fellow conservatives!! We are in charge now! Letting the liberals act like they still retain any power is just as bad as letting a peanut farmer shake hands with a terrorist on the steps of the White House. Well, we ain't on that road any more!

Bloating your ribbon bar for any reason (getting more tail on liberty, garnering clout in a political debate, or justification as to why you would make a good C-in-C) is shameful and disrespects every soldier who earned the medal. And its all so very easy to prove. He either has the proper documentation or he doesn't. If he cant prove it, then don't use it as fodder for your fight. The references to these awards didn't just magically appear on his web page. To think that no one would question them is the arrogance that has bloated the government to what it is today.

Save all that valuable experience for a real battle. This is just a fair look at the background of a man who may well have inflated his war record.
