"I, for one, found Murtha's comment that if he had his career to do all over again today he would NOT enlist in the Marine Corps to be quite shocking."

Noooo, I think he said he would NOT enlist TODAY. Two totally different things.

That's what I said. And it is shocking. The man did 37 years in the Corps through war and peace and today he'd just flip the Corps the bird???

What the heck is a Congressman and Marine Corps retiree doing trying to discourage kids from enlisting in the Corps??? I know several Marines who think the man is a disgrace.
