Please pull up this thread from breaking news and future threads related to this issue should be put in a garbage can somewhere. We do want FR to go hysteric about a very dumb move and attack the old man service regardless if it has issues with it. Murtha is causing immense damage to the democrats with his "cut and run" statements about Iraq and it is absolutely moronic to go after his service in Vietnam.

Sorry to disagree with you.

It appears that Murtha would not be a member of Congress if it were not for his military record.

This guy decided to speak out on this war (which I believe is just)and he should be subject to as much scrutiny as anyone else in a debate.

His comments were subversive, and helpful to our enemies.

I think that a lot of people do not realize the implications of calling this war illegal and/or immoral. That view implies that our Troops are involved in something that is contrary to their training concerning the Geneva Convention and other treaties.

Murtha's actual military record would help with a real determination of his credibility.
