I haven't been able to see his exact votes but the freeper nitejohnboy posted some information to me on another tread that makes suspect that Murtha voted against the South Vietnamese in 1975.

I can believe it. I was in the service then and saw quite a few "Murtha's" in the senior NCO ranks and in the barely competent middle management corps of "Light" colonels. Their service was to themselves and not to the country. Murtha, I believe, is a classic "Colonel Blimp". His kind was the reason that Barry Goldwater included the "Up or Out" provision in his legislation that created the all volunteer services.
