Young Marine Blasts Rep. Murtha at Town Hall Meeting (Not Marine, Soldier)

The Post Chronicle ^ | 1/14/06 | Jim Kouri

Vets ought to show up at every town hall either of these two guys appear at.

How does a left winger like Moran get elected in N. VA. I thought the place was populated by a bunch of military, contractors, and federal gov't types.

[Mr. Lucky]

Thank you, sir.

[Past Your Eyes]

" could care less if Murtha was once a war hero who wore the uniform "

You COULDN'T care less. Sheesh, man, say what you mean, not the opposite.

[pointsal]

Boy that reference to Benedict Arnold was right on target.

Thanks.

Once a solder dons his "Civies" he becomes just a citizen again.

This young man showed he was a Loyal solder and now a Loyal citizen. The best of luck to you in your civilian life sir, you deserve it by setting the record straight against Murtha's (and the Dem's) hatred again the commander in Chief.

[vharlow]

Many thanks from my family to yours for your service. I can only say that I observe myself many more people supporting the cause, supporting our fighting men and women, and supporting the rights of Iraqis. God Bless keep you all safe.

[Allegra]

in which he added that he feared a slow withdrawal may give people the impression the US achieved victory...

The US has achieved victory, Murtha, you idiot. People are voting for their leaders in Afghanistan and Iraq. Just kills you, doesn't it?

And the US will get Iraq settled down, as you well know. It's why you want the troops out, isn't it you moron? It's the only way the US can fail in this as you so bady desire.

Give it a rest, Murtha.

[Marine Inspector]

Just curious, why did you add the (not Marine, Soldier) in the title.

[Ninian Dryhope]

"Probably not, but this exchange had nothing to do with Murtha."

Bull, it had to do with both Congressmen who were sitting together on the dais. The last comments were directed at Moran specifically, but since Murtha was sitting next to Moran and they both are on the same page, the slam hit both congressmen.

Northern Virginia is a Democrat hellhole. We Down South wish they'd secede.

It had everything to do with Murtha. He's the one who made the disparaging comments in Congress about the troops' morale etc. Where have you been?

The only part of his comments concerning Moran were the ones about troops from his home state. That was an aside to his objections to Murtha's rant about the military being "broken".

Had Moran not even been there, he was still on target about Murtha.

[capt. norm]

Herer is the link on Murtha's undeserved purple hearts in case anyone missed it.

Murtha has his own skeletons starting to rattle around in the closet.

This seems to run in Democrats.

[Tinman73]

And is Murtha following the Creed of being a Marine ?

[Ninian Dryhope]

"this exchange had nothing to do with Murtha."


"I don’t know who you two were talking to, but the moral of the troops is very high" said Sgt. Mark Seavey to Congressman Murtha and Congressman Moran.

[Conan the Librarian]

Not only was Benedict Arnold a soldier, but, also a wounded soldier. He was a brave and smart leader. The problem was he got kicked in the guts by Congress (sound surprising?) Murtha is IN Congress committing what amounts to treason.

If Pro is the opposite of Con, what is the opposite of Progress.......Congress! Mighty Eighth...have you been to the Museum here in Savannah?

Ooops, forgot to put in the link, Here it is:

No, it had EVERYTHING to do with Murtha, who has REPEATEDLY commented on the "morale of the troops" being low, and that was specifically what this ex-soldier/ex-Marine was addressing.

[OldCorps]

The most unbelievable thing is what Murtha and Moran do after the marine finishes.

saw it on fox news. Didn't see Murtha or Moron's response. What did they do?
