[Former Democrat political candidate Paul] Hackett also is upset with Democratic Rep. John Murtha, of Pennsylvania, a decorated Marine veteran who has been briefed by military officials on the Haditha deaths and has said that U.S. troops "overreacted because of the pressure on them." Hackett said Murtha is feeding an image of traumatized, out-of-control soldiers like characters in the films Rambo and The Deer Hunter- "With one broad stroke, he’s recklessly indicted all those Marines ... I don’t know if he’s gotten addicted to the microphones and the cameras. For him to continue to foam at the mouth, it’s irresponsible, it’s stupid, it’s wrong."
