Right or wrong, I'd rather be doing something besides sitting back throwing criticism around. Like working to defeat Murtha and elect Diana Irey!
If you really feel that way, then do something about it.
You're focusing on the accusation instead of focusing on the accuser. No matter what happens with this story, Murtha is scum for acting as public informant, judge and jury. He's a treasonous SOB who is using this incident for his own personal gain.
God bless you and your family for your service and sacrifices in defense of our freedom. Stay focused and stay safe. Rest assured we're not taking this &*@#$^ from Murtha sitting down.
I think a good punch in the face would be better. I save my spit for Clintons and Kofi.
I have. And I'm also happy to say that at least my Senators voted the right way. How about yours?
Glad to hear it. Re: senators - voted the right way on what?
Loved those AF golf courses
I tell ya it was really rough duty. You're not going to believe this but there were times that the chow hall actually served white wine AT ROOM TEMPATURE!
Instead of a punch in the nose, may I suggest our friend Mr. Club. Tools are our friend.
bttt
Huh?
This RNC ad should be published nation-wide instead of just an email to us. I got it via email but have not seen any of this nationally in the media of any stripe.
I hope they don't, it's am embarassing display of parrotting with nothing of substance.

To: All
FYI.....Duncan Hunter just had a LIVE presser regarding the Marines/Haditha matter.
He said that the report that has NOT been finished yet, regardless of what Murtha has been saying, will be sent to the top guy (I forgot his name, sorry)...at about the end of next week...he will read and study it..for how long, Duncan didn't know.
THEN, he said that HE will have hearings on this matter, and probably so will Sen. Warner in the Senate.
He then went on and said that over 970,000 different troops have fought or are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and regardless of how this investigation ends, this incident with a few Marines, on one morning in Nov. of last years, should NOT reflect on the rest of the troops.
When questioned, he was asked why they are having hearings/investigations if this will be handled by the Military? And is Congress going to have a "trial" at the same time as the military?
Duncan said NO...they were going to go over evidence in this incident just "procedures"...hmmmmmmm
Then he was asked if it was a good thing for Congress to have hearings before there is even a trial, verdict, etc?
He pretty much didn't answer that I heard...just said that Americans need to know that "we" don't look the other way...and that "we" need to make sure that all protocol, blah, blah, is followed.
Other than that, he wouldn't answer any questions...just said he decided to have the presser to "clear up" some statements (Murtha) that have been made that not only mean nothing because the report isn't finished...but, that he is afraid that the MSM will "use" this incident to smear the rest of our troops.
Don't know if any of you are interested in this...but I am, so I thought I would share.

Times have changed, John boy, this ain't the sixties anymore.
We no longer take the word of your kind for just about anything. We know our "boys" and they aren't the monsters you allege. IF this or anything approximating it did happen, it was only under extreme circumstances, accidental etc. It is NOT a pattern or policy.
IOW - STFU!
Look up the 20th Special Operations Squadron. No white wine for these guys. They flew mostly cross border OPS from our camp and launch sites to deep into Cambodia and Laos. No golf clubs on their UH1F's or UH1P's. Real pilots, crew, and, maintenance types, who lived with us. None would appreciate Murtha.
None would appreciate Murtha.
Agree!
Just doing my small part to perpetuate the myth. :-)
