That would be something if it could be proven that Murtha is as phony as Kerry concerning this subject.

He's proven he's a nutcase now while in office we got enough to go on - we don't need to go after his military service that will only backfire on us.

...according to the letter signed by an individual identified only as A. Gardoni. Gardoni's title is not listed on the letter.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Huge red flag here, folks.

Has anyone who's ever been in the military ever seen a piece of official correspondence that didn't list the signer's title? I certainly never did.

"Is this a wise place to go?"

Absolutely!
These "war heroes" put their "combat service" out in front and rode that reputation into Congress for decades.

Any Marine worth his salt would be proud to have the world see their war record. I AM!

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Those accounts also appear to conflict with the limited military records that are available, and Murtha has thus far refused to release his own military records.

Sheesh, is there not one actual hero in the who stupid Dim party?

What is the experience of people on this board who were awarded Purple Hearts? Did the military inform you that you were getting one or did you have to beg, like Kerry and Murtha?

As I suspected all along......you bet you were right to go there. Simple for him to prove....just sign a form 180....and let the truth be known. Anyone who refuses to do that can be doing nothing but hiding the truth....and at this point that appears to be the case.....

I agree with the other posters, stay away from the VietNam stuff. He has to sleep on this knowing one way or the other. Just go after his bananas idea of an immediate pullout and what effect that has on morale as well emboldens the terrorists into thinking we will be pulling out soon if they can simply hold on long enough!

No it isn't. Better to stick with the present debate. I, for one, found Murtha's comment that if he had his career to do all over again today he would NOT enlist in the Marine Corps to be quite shocking.

OTOH, this is very interesting. Stolen Valor showed there are large numbers of Americans who exaggerate or make up Vietnam experiences. Politicians seem not to be immune from that.

No, the 1st words out of any dems mouth will be that Murtha is being attacked akin to what the Swifties did to Kerry.

Not that what the Swifties did to Kerry was wrong but just that what the dems are going to say.

I agree with those who think that we shouldn't (don't need to) go here.

Murtha's modern-day antics are impeaching his "expertise" quite nicely, thank you.
