This guy is supposed to have credibility because of his military service. Didn't Benedict Arnold serve honorably in the US military?

</>Benedict Arnold, until his defection, was one of the most effective of Revolutionary War leaders...and really was a hero. Not sure whether it was influence of English wife or disillusionment with Washington (or both) which caused his treason. He was supposedly very unhappy that he had not received enough credit for his actions.</p>

</>A Bronze Star certainly does not make Murtha a "Hero for life"....or even a "hero" at all! </p>

Well, yes! And, too, there are Bronze Stars -- and there are Bronze Stars!

We handed them out like cracker Jacks in SEA. All a guy had to do was stop picking his nose and keep his gun clean for 12 months to get one. Lost all legitimacy.

Let's take a close look at this buffoon's record in his tour(s) in country to see if he really did any heavy lifting.

As far as getting to be an 0-6 in the Reserves: A joke. All Murtha had to really do was press the right flesh; keep his nose reasonably clean; and refrain from patting his superior's wife's butt at the cocktail parties at the O'Club. True to the mark -- I kid you not.

Murtha should be called for what he really is: A disgrace to the uniform; and to his constituents.
