RNC Response to Rep. John Murtha's Appearance on NBC's Meet The Press [MURTHA (D-PA)"WE CAN'T WIN"]

[AmeriBrit]

3 years in Marine Corp (possibly active duty)..... 1952 - 1955
Car Wash Owner/Operator............................... 1955 - 1966
Volunteer, USMC, Vietnam War....................... 1966 - 1967
Small Business Owner/Operator....................... 1967 - 1978
Marine Corp Reserve, (Weekend Warrior).......... 1967 - 1990
Congressman, 12th district...............................1974 - Present (32 years)

Many people give Murtha credit for 39 years in the military, but he retired in 1990 with 27 years combined = 4 yrs Active Duty/23 yrs Reserve (Weekend Warrior) time, while ALSO a U.S. Congressman since 1974.

Where he's supposed to get all his expert ' War Experience' from beats the h$ll out of me.

I'd also like to know what he's hiding in his Form 180 that makes him so reluctant to sign and produce it.

The more I read and find out about Murtha the phonier he gets and proves he's just another Kerry including the unearned decorations.

I'd hazard a guess this is only the tip of the iceberg for things that don't add up.

I agree! There is a lot of support to get this guy out.
