Murtha, like Hackworth, was a combat stud in his day. And, like Hackworth, I strongly suspect that he has gone soft in his old age. The only other possibility I can envision is that, like Goldwater, he lost his first wife and is now being kittywhipped by some young leftist pos.

That's the sad part of this whole situation, based only on what I've heard, is that Murtha did serve with honor and distinction... unlike john kerry.

I think a lot has to do with the kind of people a 'leader' surrounding the leader. When it's military people the person excels as a military person. OTHO, when it's cowardly, left wingers the person excels as a cowardly left winger.

I use quotes around the word leader because I don't feel a person like this is ever a leader. They might be in a position to be in charge, but they are not leaders. Leaders believe in something and have the ability to convince those around him or her to help.

I would be surprised if this guy was ever a leader. Ollie North, OTOH, is a leader in every sense of the word.
