Murtha now wears his heroic combat record like a suit of armor.

and this Murtha disqualifies adversaries who have not tasted combat...

Now, how about telling us what you did in combat, mr. ex-marine?

I was privileged to meet the Most Decorated and Second Most Decorated soldiers of WWII as well as many decorated veterans of Viet Nam.

Not a single one of them "wore" their combat record as a suit of armor.

Neither did they fault anyone who never heard a shot fired in anger.

And the only way you could get them to mention their heroic acts was after a lot of trust and booze had filled their veins.

Kerry and Murtha have five Purple hearts between them with nary a visible scar nor limp and have not their released service records.

I never knew my uncle was at Iwo Jima until last year...
