I'm sooooo confused.

This award dishonors every man and woman who ever served or ever will serve.

I bet there were no Marines present at the awarding ceremony, if there was a ceremony.

I know he was in the Marines but I don’t care. He is simply a traitor. Giving him that award is an insult to all Americans who love their country.

I believe he should win the Keelhauled award.

Hope the ship hasn't been bottom painted in five or more years.

Never confuse the Secretary of the Navy or other Department Navy bureaucrats as being the military.

Yeah. I guess you’re right. Once they get to Washington, they become politicians just like the rest of the bunch living there.

My theory was that it was one of Obama’s political hacks from the Chicago Navy gave it to him. However it was signed by President Bush’s outgoing Secretary of the Navy. Blech!

At first I thought this story was from Scrappleface.

The military gives an award to a scumbag who tried to convict some of our bravest warriors of war crimes.

I keep thinking I'm gonna wake from a nightmare.

He’s the only ex Marine I know. And it’s my bet that he was what we call a “Sh!t Bird”.

Semper Fi!

John Murtha: Traitor

Fair trial

Conviction

Hung by the neck until dead

Awarding this medal to this despicable anti-Troop lying politician is proof that the upper echelons of the military are no longer servicemen but politicians.

The one responsible for this should be tried for aiding and abetting the enemy.
