3 years in Marine Corp (possibly active duty)..... 1952 - 1955 Car Wash Owner/Operator............................... 1955 - 1966 Volunteer, USMC, Vietnam War....................... 1966 - 1967 Small Business Owner/Operator....................... 1967 - 1978 Marine Corp Reserve, (Weekend Warrior).......... 1967 - 1990 Congressman, 12th district...............................1974 - Present (32 years)
Many people give Murtha credit for 39 years in the military, but he retired in 1990 with 27 years combined = 4 yrs Active Duty/23 yrs Reserve (Weekend Warrior) time, while ALSO a U.S. Congressman since 1974.
Where he's supposed to get all his expert ' War Experience' from beats the h$ll out of me.
I'd also like to know what he's hiding in his Form 180 that makes him so reluctant to sign and produce it.
The more I read and find out about Murtha the phonier he gets and proves he's just another Kerry including the unearned decorations.
