Murtha's War Hero Status Called Into Question

As a former Marine, I agree that if Murtha is a fraud he should be outed. But not like this - it looks too much like retributiuon for his weasel comments. Let it go for now, we'll blast him next election cycle. When is he up again?

[Fenris6]

He's damaging whatever credibility he had to begin with with his recent and current statements. Since the day he brought up this phony bill of his on the House floor for an Iraq pullout, most people I've talked with "on the street" can't believe what they're seeing and hearing from this guy.

Bingo. If we bring up his medals, the media cycle will shift from "Moonbat Murtha" to "Mean Repubs". This should be handled locally in his district, next time he runs.

If you run on your record, please provide the record and don't be disappointed if someone wants to verify.
Is that simple enough?

[Godebert]

Excellent post.

[ozzymandus]

Still good to know.

[freema]

Jesus Criminey, you didn't have to make me cry.

Amen to that, rat, and God love ya both.

[TankerKC]

Is this a wise place to go?

No. Military personnel records are notoriously inaccurate.

Trojan Horse? by Greyhawk [excerpt]

"Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, they say

Let me be clear: attacks on Murtha's Vietnam record are pointless. Murtha's latest statements against the success of US troops in Iraq speak for themselves; his current behavior renders his past insignificant. Democrats, grown tired of waiting for an attack on Murtha's war record from the Right, have created their own. He's painted as a victim now - of "right wing chickenhawk" contempt for real war heroes. But those serious about standing up to the current John Murtha would be well advised to let his fellow Democrats and the mainstream media keep this war "unilateral".

The "Move On" folks -- aren't still carrying the memories and obligations to fallen brothers that many of us are still dealing with......

The "Move On" folks -- don't have brother's names on that cold stone Wall on the Mall....

The "Move On" folks -- don't have any vested interest in exposing and destroying the lying traitorous bastards of OUR era....

Yes, I'll "Move On" just as soon at the battle is over, and the bastards are dead or dishonored and we're pissing on their graves...

The country STILL owes the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth - an unpayable debt....
THEY were singularly responsible for preventing Kerry from becoming President....
Thank GOD, they were not ready to "Move On"..

Folks - there are STILL a lot of enemies out there that DESERVE our attention -- and we OWE it to the dead that can not speak for themselves or salvage their reputations which these traitorous cowards besmirched..

Good morning.
"I have never heard it called a "Combat V"."

I think the French looking traitor john kerry did as well.

Yeah, like Kerry he hides behind medals he did NOT earn.

[Little Bill]

My cousin Joe was with 1-1 HQ Company in '66, I will ask him if he remembers Murtha, when I see him next.

I don't ever remember any Intelligence Officers in the field, when there was shooting going on anyway, in my Viet Nam experience, maybe the crotch was different. I do remember a directive from MAC-V about the awarding of Hearts in '67, that said you had to have some Iron in you to get one, there was a lot of Medal inflation going on at the time.

[nmh]

I don't know about that ... it is from examining Kerry's past that people WERE turned off and he was EXPOSED for what he really is.

BTT!!! & thanks for the ping Brother!

[vigilante2]

it sure seems as though "mouth murtha" is just as much of a phony as "coward kerry"

[staytrue]

Then later Kerry said he had signed it but had not faxed it to the military?

the lawyers loophole.

Russert never asked when Kerry would sign and further he never asked that if Kerry signed, would it be delivered.
