So he didn't serve in Korea either. He isn't just mostly a fraud, he's 100% a fraud and nothing but!

I've read nothing that he's said that says he served in Korea.... Lots of blogs have that info but nothing on web sites say so.

He enlisted in 1952, a recruit going through basic training. He rose to the rank of Drill Instructor and then was accepted and completed OCS. He's probably embellished his record and acheivements but I'll not condemn him for enlisting and serving.

Not all serve, I did, he did, many did but many didn't.

Based on how this is turning as the weeks go by, you shouldn't credit him for volunteering and "serving" either. You volunteered and served for love of country and because you knew it was the right thing to do. The evidence is suggesting that Murtha only joined with a political carrer end in sight. That well and truly takes away any kind of selfless or honorable credit he should get for joining.

Like Kerry only joining the Navy to get a political career, and requesting the PBRs because thought that was an easy assignment and was too stupid to know they would be going up river in heavy combat, not just off the coast. Murtha is a genetic mutant that believes that the military is only good as a political stepping stone. The military is NO ONE'S stepping stone.

Drill Instructor is not a rank.
