"Like Kerry, Murtha’s medals came for surface wounds that never caused his evacuation from the battlefield, and like Kerry, he attempted to get his medals by political manipulation, in Murtha’s case, through then-Rep. John Saylor. But Saylor’s office felt it was odd for Murtha to seek medals for “superficial lacerations.”

There are war heros and there are heros in everyday, ordinary life. As far as I'm concerned I've never held in higher esteem a man who acted bravely in combat to save a fellow soldier than a man who ran into a burning house to rescue his neighbor's child. Both are heroic. But for that matter, woman who endures years of physical abuse at the hands of her husband just to preserve a family life for her children, or a man who endures a brutal ten year attack from his alcoholic ex-wife to protect his children from her insanity, are every bit as 'heroic' as anyone else.

That said, to me the greatest heros are the men and women who suffer, sacrifice and endure great pain for the benefit of others, without ever telling anyone about it or seeking recognition for it. THAT is a true hero. People like John Murtha and John Kerry are self-inflated phonies of the worst kind. They far more resemble two piles of dog poop sitting in the park drawing flies with their foul odor than heros.

<< John Murtha and John Kerry .... far more resemble two piles of dog poop sitting in the park drawing flies with their foul odor than ..... >>

Didn't want the word "heroes" in the same sentence as "Murtha" and "Kerry."

The "military records" of both are overwhelmingly more the products of treasonous "Democrat" politics than they are in any way related to reality and/or connected to the military.

His own sedition, subversion and treason-related less-than-honorable-discharge record politically sanitized by the traitor, Jimmy-Bubbah Carter, Kerry's "Vietnam 'service' record" was an even more delusionally fantasized work of fiction than was that of the world's most dangerous dullard, the bible-school failure and way-too-typical functionally-illiterate "journalist," Al-Fredo Gore-leone.

And Murtha's much-vaunted "37 years of service" and "rank of colonel" turns out to have been a couple of years of doing what he was told followed by 35 years in the reserves spent essentially pursuing the machinations and fabricating the elements that came together in the entirely political creation of his present legend-in-his-own-play-lunch-time war-hero status.

Meanwhile, except when he is busy treasonously, mindlessly and bitterly critiquing his superiors, suborning dissent, and treasonously giving aid and comfort to our enemies -- and while even the corrupt, criminal-alien-"elected" racist-bigot, Loretta "Sanchez" Brixey and the idiot savant racist-bigot, Cynthia McKinney, sit on the house's Armed Services Committee -- the "Democrat" potty's genius military strategist "Lt Col" Murtha's, big bum but burnishes the back-bench.

Bah! Humbug!

Bull***t!

WHAT? Are you nuts?? Enduring abuse at the hands of ANYONE is NOT peserving ANY kind of "family life" -- that notion is absolutly ridiculous!! And to say that a man (or woman) who is putting their life on the line for MY freedom is "no more heroic" than someone who stands around letting someone abuse them, that just makes NO sense at all!!

But for that matter, woman who endures years of physical abuse at the hands of her husband just to preserve a family life for her children,

These women are not heroic, they are stupid and cowards and are subjecting their children to a life far more horible than they would have if they would divorce the creep. Often abusing spouses(male and female) are also abusive to the children as well. The women and men who leave this kind of mate are the real heros.
