Proposal to Name Philadelphia Naval Shipyard after John Murtha
Flopping Aces ^ | 03-04-10 | Skye

Philadelphia democrats have proposed naming the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard after the disgraced and deceased John Murtha.

I. Kid. You. Not.

The same John Murtha who worked closely with anti war groups in developing a 'slow bleed' strategy in order to undermine the ability of our troops to successfully engage terrorists in Iraq.

The same John Murtha that accused the now exonerated Haditha Marines of murder and war crimes:

Murtha has an airport named after him, let that be. It would be more meaningful to name the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard after one of Philly's fallen soldiers.

This is yet another example of Philly democrats blatant disregard of the sacrifices made in the name of freedom by Philly natives in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The man passed away and I’m sorry for that, but the name “John Murtha” brings distrust. He is gone, let him stay gone and out of our lives.

My prediction is that good Marines will piss on this Murtha named Naval Yard.

Oh let’s not stop with Murtha, let’s rename it the ‘Arnold-Murtha-Walker’ Naval Shipyard (Arnold as in Benedict, Murtha as in disgraced ex-Marine, Walker as in the infamous traitor who sold our secrets to the Soviets).

I was in full agreement until I put my glasses on.

Yes there are Naval SHITYARDS.

If you’ve ever been to the Yard in Philly, I mean all around it - it’s old, polluted, and just plain nasty.

I’d say the renaming for Murtha is more than appropriate.

Are they going to name it the “Crooked Politican memorial shipyard”? Maybe they should rename his personal airport to “Pork Barrel Airport”.
