"asked about Murtha, what the GOP reps should do is mumble about him and then go on to praise the military themselves"

The big mistake has been milquetoasting these Dems on their weak record of taking care of the military IMHO

Take Murtha for instance, He's lauded as a champion of the military due to his long tenure on the House Armed Services Committee. In reality he was Chairman of the Committee when Clinton conducted the Bottom's UP review and cut the military much deeper than Bush's father recommended. Then years later, he complains about the broken Army, the same military force structure that he was Chief architect of! Same with issues like Body Armor,...That should have been fully funded back in the 90's. What the hell did Murtha do about it?< NOTHING!!!BR> Seems to me the only thing he's been successful at is diverting defense dollars to pet projects in his district. There is also a huge hole in his reserve years according to his website. Not a single medal, deployment or meaningful accomplishment from when he left Nam in until his retirement in 1990. 22 years of nothingness.....My spidey sense is tingling.
