I agree. Like Kerry, Murtha has made a big political issue out of his Vietnam service. He should sign his form 180 and release his military records. If he were a Republican, the media would be screaming their heads off demanding that he make his records public.

I wonder how many of murtha's purple hearts are dated concurrent with his SENATE term, rather than his MILITARY service term?

Remember, Kerry promised Tim Russert that he would sign the Form 180 to release his military records! Wonder if Russert will ever bring that subject up again?
