The video of this exchange is available on Michelle Malkin's site. The most unbelievable thing is what Murtha and Moran do after the marine finishes.

That whole free-speech thing can be a really double edged sword, huh Martha.

Hmmm... I find it very interesting that the documentation for Murtha's "two purple hearts" seems to be elusive. Shades of John Kerry, indeed.

This will be interesting to follow up. Are there any of Murtha's old comrades who can tell us of his service?

Ummm, conservative as I am...and despising Murtha & his unpatriotic anti-American puting-politics-above-America-and-her-troops liberal idiot fans, this comment was directed at Rep. Moran (the racist un-gentleman representing the Sergeant's district in Arlington, VA.) not Murtha. His comments only said he had not gotten a thank you or acknowlegement for his service from Congress.

Does Murtha send out thank you notes to servicemen? Probably not, but this exchange had nothing to do with Murtha.

If they follow the Clinton playbook, they will try to harm this young man's future. It will be worth watching.

I'm wondering why there aren't more like Seavey who are willing to slap down these folks?

Does anybody else think that Murtha *looks* like an evil scumbag? That if you saw him in the supermarket or Sears, not knowing who he was, you'd say to yourself, "That guy looks like an evil scumbag?"

I wish I could talk to Murtha myself, just to drive this point home. I've done two tours in Iraq, with to different units, and I have a possible third tour pending. Out of the two units I deployed with (the first for the invasion the second between '04 and '05) THE ENTIRE TWO UNITS, I found only one dissenter. We all hate it, being away from our families, not being able to come and go as we please, but our moral is definitely not low. We know that what we have done and what we are doing is the right thing. We are reaffirmed every time we meet an Iraqi citizen who hugs us, or shakes our hand, or runs to the edge of the road to wave and smile as we drive by. We are reaffirmed when we meet Iraqi citizens (at the Iraqi tomb of the unknown for example) that expresses their joy at the freedom they have now to be able to walk up to and pay tribute at national monuments, a freedom they were forever denied.

Iraq sucks, but we know what we do is right, and we are proud to do it.

Fire for effect, Sir. God bless you.

Once a solder dons his "Civies" he becomes just a citizen again.

This young man showed he was a Loyal solder and now a Loyal citizen. The best of luck to you in your civilian life sir, you deserve it by setting the record straight against Murtha's (and the Dem's) hatred again the commander in Chief.

in which he added that he feared a slow withdrawal may give people the impression the US achieved victory...

The US has achieved victory, Murtha, you idiot. People are voting for their leaders in Afghanistan and Iraq. Just kills you, doesn't it?

And the US will get Iraq settled down, as you well know. It's why you want the troops out, isn't it you moron? It's the only way the US can fail in this as you so bady desire.

Give it a rest, Murtha.

Ain't nothing in this world as gratifying as a NEW old wardog taking a broken, corrupted old wardog to the woodshed.

Semper Fi, Sgt Mark Seavey.

Young Marine Blasts Rep. Murtha at Town Hall Meeting
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1558047/posts

"Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until about a month ago I was Sergeant Mark Seavey infantry squad leader, I returned from Afghanistan. My question to you, (applause)

"Like yourself I dropped out of college two years ago to volunteer to go to Afghanistan, and I went and I came back. If I didn't have a herniated disk now I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops, three of which have already volunteered to go to Iraq. I keep hearing you say how you talk to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. (applause) The morale of the troops that I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back, despite the hardships they had to endure in Afghanistan."

Bravo Sgt. Seavey and all of his fellow soldiers!!!

As long as valiant young men like him speak up and confront the liars and misogynists who "represent" us, the liars won't/can't win.

Sgt., we are proud to know you!!

Unlike most Marines I think that when a Soldier is mistaken for a Marine it is a compliment to the Corps!

No disrespect to the Army. They do good work.

Did you see it said in another article he's interviewed for this coming Sunday's 60 Minutes. Says most of our troops will be out by the end of this year. I don't know what alternate universe dough boy lives in, but a bunch of 'em just came home. DOH!
