“.... When pressed that four of the accused had been exonerated already, he continued his silence.”
Maybe he hasn’t apologized because he’s not through yet. The last I heard, he and his friends were still trying to get a few of these marines on “reduced charges” like “manslaughter” or “negligence”. You know, he’s a reasonable guy. He’d be satisfied with a couple of years in the jug and dishonorable discharges.
To the tune of “John Brown’s Body”
***JOHN MURTHA’S CONSCIENCE***
John Murtha’s conscience lies amouldering in his head.
John Murtha lied about Marines who shot folks dead.
John Murtha’s colors run the gamut - pink to red.
He’s a truth-besmirching pawn.
The point is.That statement is a LIE in and of itself.
Either the grunts overreacted in the heat of battle...OR..they killed in cold blood. Can’t be both. One is reactive, and the other calculated...Turns out, it wasn;’t either. What it was, was Traitor Murtha LYING for maximum impact.
Actually, soldier is an appropriate term. Many who have gone through a promotion board know that the correct GENERIC term for a member of the military, regardless of branch, is “soldier.”
It denotes a paid member of the military and is derived from an old english term for “pay.”
How many years of service do you have?
Use of a lower case M when referring to members of the United States Marine Corps is ill advised. These men are Marines.
“Time magazine reported it” . . .
When is Time magazine going to issue apologies? They were (willingly) duped by Iraqi operatives during their (shabby) investigation on the ground.
As a former Marine, I demand that his discharge - IF it is honorable - be revoked and changed to BCD. He must also disavow ever having been a Marine or even known any Marines.
I am deeply offended that this bloated POS poses as a Marine. As they used to say, “He wouldn’t make a pimple on a good Marine’s butt.”
When considering surrender murtha, I am always disappointed that the English language hasn’t strong enough words to express my contempt for him. Quisling is close but still not strong enough.
I don't know you or your background but you're correct that even Marines will go bad if they care more about themselves than the Corps or their brother Marines.
If I put down what I think about Murtha, I 'd get put in "time out" (again) or banned.
Suffice it to say that I would end up with a bail hearing if I was ever to meet Murtha in any capacity. After we went to the hospital to pull my size 10 1/2 boot out of his a##.
Are you kidding, he’s a dumb-o-crat and without shame, morals or able to ever tell the truth.

Amen.
If he responded at all, he would make some inane comment like he's previously made. E.G.- "Are the trials still going on?"
Nevertheless, I agree with you, DV, I'd like to see the town meeting scenario you describe.
Do you have any more information on your reference to Vietnam/ “The Palace File” that you can link to? Interesting.
since he still is a critic, he isn't an erstwhile critic.
I guess all one can do is continue hounding him. He sure is not going to take on the honorable ethnic standards he once embraced.
ethnic = ethical
