What Murtha did to these young men, potentially ruining their promising military careers, hanging an albatross around their necks for the rest of their lives, causing undue emotional and financial stress to them and their families, is what I will always remember of him.

And despite the exonerations, this man could never bring himself to apologize for what he wrongfully did to them. He was not a man of honor.

My sentiments, exactly. Thank you for the article on what needed to be said and God Bless our Haditha Marines.

He was not a man of honor.

Amen to what he wrote. Murtha lost his way and went to the dark side.

The press and print media may have forgotten Murtha’s “cold-blooded killer” accusations, but many Americans did not. It is sad that a man nearing the end of his life could not find it within him to attempt to make amends to these Marines and to the Marine Corps. His loss.

Thanks for posting Tom Stone’s piece, smooth.
