Supposedly, a newspaper has seen Murtha's medical records.

"A May 12, 2002, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article reported that "Marine Corps casualty records show that Murtha was injured in 'hostile' actions near Danang, Vietnam, on March 22, 1967 and May 7, 1967. In the first incident, his right cheek was lacerated, and in the second he was lacerated above his left eye. Neither injury required evacuation."

The more I learn, the more suspicious I'm becoming.....

I believe the man that said Murtha ADMITTED he didn't earn/deserve his Purple Hearts.

Murtha appears to be a poseur "hero", a corrupt politician and an ally of traitors to the Republic...

Now - I understand why he was crying on television....
He realized that the lie he had been living, and the respect he once commanded -- was OVER.
