[Just A Nobody]

If you try to examine each sentence as you read this, you will be tougher than me

I stopped counting the number of inaccuracies, falsehoods, and outright examples of willful journalistic propaganda in this article.

Okay, I read through it quickly. I would attempt to debunk it line for line, but I'm just too tired for that! I want to highlight this bit of info.

Murtha has had intimate involvement with major war decisions during his years in Congress. He was first elected in 1974.

What MAJOR WAR decisions have been made since 1974?

Did he support the abandonment and slaughter of the South Vietnamese?

The first Gulf War (Desert Storm) was the largest armed conflict since '74, I guess.We deployed about a half million troops for that one.But I wouldn't call it a major war.Murtha was only a congressionman, other than appropriations, he would have only had input in military decisions if Bush 41 allowed him to. He certainly wasn't calling the shots.

I should know the answer about Vietnam,but I don't.I believe his tour ended in'67,IIRC.Most of the major combat was just beginning then. Arguably, '68 was the biggest year, and there was still plenty after that.In truth, his military service is irrelevent to me. I look at it much like the old Marine friends I know do, to them he never served, he's a non-person. They won't even speak his name. In their eyes, he's less than nothing.
