"Our freedom of speech in this country allows all of us the opportunity to voice an opinion. It's one of our great strengths as a nation," he added.

Does anyone else see the hypocrisy here? This man says he would not wish to serve in our military and even slams the military in a few ways, yet in his next breath, he cites "free speech," the very freedom (or one of the many) that our military protects.

ROUND UP THE MILITARY FIRING SQUAD FOR THIS TRAITOR!

US Rep. Murtha says he wouldn't join military now

Have you seen Murtha now?? As IF the Marines would accept such a fat-a$$ed slob!! Yeesh!!

You might talk to the National Guard. They sometimes wavier those in the 50's.

I just rejoined after ten years out and Murtha should know that I have never seen the Guard as well equiped and trained and morale is good at my unit. The guard of the 1980's seemed broke compared with today and back in the 80's we was all thanking Ronald Reagan for the new equipment and money.

Murtha should also be questioned about why he wants our disaster response undermanned. Both the National Guard and the Coast Guard is part of the military that responses to disasters.

Hope you can get back in, you will find a lot of changes I think for the better.

Thank you for you and your family's service to our great country!

I appreciate your response and also your service to our great country. As elitist as it may sound, I could never wear another uniform other than USMC.

I was on an 8" howitzer in VN and after my discharge the local NG unit (also an 8" battery) tried to sign me up for almost 10 years. I just couldn't do it. Semper Fi ...
