Idiots who didn't serve trying to sully someone who did for political gains.

These same folks who say if he came out with "proof" would not accept it anyway.

People who didn't serve who criticize war records of people who put their life on line while the criticizers kept their fat asses pinned to couches are vermin in my opinion.

I have all the respect for his service, and accept the fact that he has earned those medals. I don't respect someone that needs to remind us everyday they are a hero and represents to us they are an expert.

I did my tour in Vietnam and sure did not want to be there. I am not an expert and am not a hero. I won't pretend that because my number came up in the lottery that I am special. I do want peoples respect that I served and did my job and I expect that the kids that are currently doing their job be supported and respected.

I know these highly trained troops know an awful lot more than I about their equipment and the level of success they are achieving than an old retired marine.

I am not in favor of going after Murtha's war record, which would be at best a dud and at worst shooting ourselves in the foot. That said...

By your standard, the investigative reporter who helped J.G. Burkett bust fake war heroes and write Stolen Valor is "vermin." Last time I checked, we military types served the civilians, not the other way 'round. If someone took the system the United States uses to reward heroes proved in liberating strife and perverted it for his own selfish gain, I support any civilian who would expose that dishonor.

I served. I say if Murtha's war record is a fraud, expose him.

Murtha should not be allowed to climb atop a box of lies to claim the moral high ground to criticize what our troops are doing in Iraq. He himself has opened his war record to scrutiny. He has no cause to complain if we accept the invitation and take a hard look.
