I've lost all respect for Murtha.

Nutz to Murtha.
Saw that on another Murtha thread. Someone posted that they saw it on a sign in PA. Very appropriate.

>>>Rep. John Murtha, a key Democratic voice who favors pulling U.S. troops from Iraq, said in remarks airing on Monday that he would not join the U.S. military today. <<<
He is a senile old man who needs to be put out of our misery.

Me, too. When I read comments by him I think of my much older brother who was in the Korean Conflict. He said that he would go to Iraq if he were much younger. One believes in his country, the other does not.

It works bothways.......I wouldn't want to serve under the likes of Murtha..!
To: big'ol_freeper
Same here. Defeatists in war nauseate me. If he doesn't support the goal of bringing freedom to Iraq, then he should come out and say so. But to just sit there and whine that it can't be done while there are young men literally dying to achieve it, and still pretend that he's on their side, is just contemptible.

Murtha probably wouldn't have joined back then either if he was the person then that he is now.
If he thinks Iraq is wrong, then Vietnam must've been far worse.

Knowing Marines, my uncle was a marine in the pacific in WWII, I can say with great knowledge that this man would be rejected by the Marines today. He wouldn't have to worry about enlisting.

""Let me tell you, war is a nasty business. It sears the soul," he said, choking up. "And it made a difference. The shadow of those killings stay with you the rest of your life.""Yes, I'm sure it does. Never mind WHY you went to war, Murtha. It's all about you and YOUR feelings; your demons. Yep. Trash your country around the world, give the go**amned Haji's more ammo; feed propaganda to Al Quaeda and others........you just go right ahead, if it makes YOU feel better, Colonel. Yes, you pantywaisted crybaby.......forget WHY you went to war for your country and for whom; it's all about you, buddy.
I was AF, not a Marine, but I have a huge respect for the Corps. I have to believe that all Marines, current and former, would just as soon spit on this whiny sumbitch as look at him. Let the press fawn all they want; those that matter.........Marines..............must look at him with disgust.

What a loser.
