Conspicous by it's absence is the suggestion this young man run against Hellary for the NY US Senate seat. There shouldn't be any debates, she's not fit to bear his shoes.

WOW! What an article! I've emailed it as it appeared in the Buffalo News to nearly all on my email list, including all my liberal, anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-American friends! I might even go on to DU and post it!

Great article by this valorous young man.

Murtha is using a cheap propaganda technique by throwing up his service of forty years ago to act as an expert on the current war.

Old soldiers never die--they just fade away. It's time for Murtha to fade away and zip his lip.

I hope you all find this post excellent, as I did. Sargent David Bellavia is telling the truth.

Thanks for the hero ping, King!

Thanks for the article, West Coast!

I'm sure you've been pinged, DrDeb, but I'm not taking any chances! I just want to make sure you have this in your file!

massgopguy, I think John al-Ker'ry woefully cheapened the term "war hero" when he applied it so -- yes, I'll say it -- LIBERALLY to himself while running for office. Mr. Murtha has only himself to blame by not calling a fellow dimocrat to task for that one.

Murtha is a traitor and what's worse he must know it.

"Like Vietnam, the American soldier cannot be defeated on the field of battle, only by the failure of the political class to stomach the hardships of combat."

"Victory alone is not everything — but is it not, after all, what really counts?" - Karl von Clauswitz, On War, 1832.

Ouch, that one has got to leave a mark. Wonder if AP or Reuters will pick it up. Pshaw.
