You should have done some research before making such statements:

According to the Military Officers Association of America, there are 141 Members
of the 109th Congress who have had some form of military service.15 The House has 110;
the Senate 31. They have served in World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Persian
Gulf, and Kosovo, and during times of peace, as well as in the Reserves and the National
Guard. As noted above, one Senator is a former Secretary of the Navy.

You cannot tell me that Murtha was the only one of 110 who saw combat. What makes him special? He is old, bitter, and a hack for Pelosi and the liberal RATs now. His serving in combat was honorable but John Kerry served in Vietnam too and what I think of him is not printable! Get tired of because someone served in combat, they can say whatever they want. His statements are doing harm to the military that are overseas today so he deserves every last insult he is getting now.
