Pinging tonk to be etiquettely correct.
"You didn't read the whole conversation between me and Tonk, did you?"
How could I help but read it? This thread is 'Murtha's War Hero Status Called into Question', you don't think it matters, and you're still here arguing "It can't be won!".
"Or do you really think it's appropriate for him to portray me and other people on this board as traitors to the Republic when we disagree with him on a tactical course?"
I don't think it's appropriate of you or anyone else to put words in Tonk's mouth. I don't know where on God's green earth the word traitor came from. Oh, wait, my bad. Yes I do.
"I've put in the hours on cold flightlines and hot streetcorners. I sure deserve better than that."
Those are your words, but I could just as easily see where they could have been written by Kerry or Murtha.
That said, I deeply appreciate your service, and thank you for it.
If you want to move on and focus on what Murtha is doing today, please do so. Please ping me with an after action report.
You're welcome, of course. I was glad to do it.

I am sorry that I don't have the time to hun these up for you, but why don't you go read these columns I wrote in 2004 and 2005. They're posted on FR:
Wishful Thinking and Valor on the Cheap
Boats were just the beginning for Kerry
Democrats add insults to...insults
American IEDs
Arguments from the Left lack punch
Read those and then tell me if you think I'm going to give Murtha a free pass.
