Is this a wise place to go?

I think this approach will backfire. Best to deal with Murtha in the present, not the past.

No it is not. If you want to call him on something call him on his record in Congress or what he says today. If any question is to be made on his war record it should be by DOD/USMC.

Hopefully Republicans will not get behind this because it will lead only to disaster.

Not a smart move.

I don't think this is a good idea. Hitler served with honor in WWI, but that doesn't mean something didn't jar itself loose upstairs, if you know what I mean. Just because Murtha served with honor in Vietnam doesn't make him the savior of our nation.

I don't think this line of argument is a good idea at all.

There are plenty of reasons to honor Murtha's service record AND to criticize his inconsistent and pro-defeat statement in the global war on terrorism.

Why do this? He's showing his true character now, just leave his mil service alone.

Murtha should get John F'n Kerry to vouch for him.

All's fair in 'love and war'. I hear ya on going down this path.

I'll take the guy with a Silver Star and 3 Bronze over 2 Purple Hearts anyday.

Sign the DD180, Mr. Murtha.

Only if it can be proved he never served.

ROFLMAO...him and Kerry should get together and swap war stories. By the time they are done...they would have been both killed and raised from the dead.

This looks like something Democrats would do. Not good.

Should contest with Murtha in current times, not decades ago.

The military decides what is and isn't worthy of a purple heart. Once that decision is made, I don't think it's up to the public to second guess. This is not a good idea.

Agreed. His congressional record provides enough to call him on.

If he's a fraud, he needs to be exposed.
