I agree.
It's on him whether or not he did or did not earn the Purple Hearts. He has to live with that.
But his arguements have been shot down several times, the military and the vets already hate his guts, so to speak.
There is very little, if any, gain to be had in going after him like that. It's in the past when he is giving up a LOT of stuff to be used now.
Bullshit. ABSCAM Murtha is as dirty and implicated as they come.
What will be gained is that he will be prevented from speaking as the sole source of expertise in the field of military endevour as well as The expert on the moral of our troops there.
That is afterall how he is being portrayed in the press, The lone voice of reason as well as the expert on everything.
Based upon a sole Marine Reservist's tour in Viet Nam, better braver men then him are being ignored and we are being told to do nothing, to say nothing, to relax and wait for what might happen or for his fifteen minutes of fame to evaporate.
If his awards are bogus, then his entire congressional career has been based upon a fraud unchallenged until now and if it remains unchallenged then he will be re-elected yet again and free to continue his lies about the war.
