A long time ago, I made a comment that I probably not having served in the Marine Corps., was not worthy nor entitled to call Murtha a EX-MARINE.
With support from a number of you, I was told I should feel free as one of the big Marine family to place such a judgment upon this low life creep.
So once again. Murtha is an EX-MARINE. Not entitled to the slightest deference or pity from anyone connected to the Marine Corps.
He has for so many years thrown away his badge of HONOR. And decided to walk the walk Satan had prepared for him. May his dishonorable deeds now catch up to him. If he seeks true mercy from the Almighty Lord, that is his business. If he seeks heartfelt forgiveness then let it be. Otherwise he can tie a concrete block around his neck and dive off a bridge for all I care.
