No Murtha Ship!

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus plans to honor the late Congressman John Murtha by giving his name to the Navy's new LPD (Transport Dock Ship), to be launched in 2013.

In doing so, Sec. Mabus is breaking the Navy's tradition of naming its San Antonio-class amphibious transports after American cities. He is also honoring a man who:

We believe that such a man does not deserve to be honored by the U.S. Navy. If you agree, please help us petition Secretary Mabus to reconsider this outrageous decision....

Murtha and Kerry are deserving of NOTHING.

Well, they have earned a place together, and I suspect Murtha is already there.

Yes, you’re right and I thought of that after I had posted my comment. I should have said, nothing ‘honorary’!

If someone wants to bestow special recognition on the late Congress Critter, I’d be happy to participate in a convoy of tour buses to Johnstown, PA to pi$$ on his grave!

The San Diego, Anchorage and Arlington have been launched but are not yet in commission. The Somerset is still under construction.

A very striking and capable class of ships. Looks good, distinctive profile, big. The commissioning ceremony and tour left an impression.

How disgusting that Sec Mabus would name a Navy ship after Cesar Chavez, who described his two short years in the military like this:

“Later, Chávez described his experience in the military as “the two worst years of my life.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Ch%C3%A1vez

Now Mabus wants to name a ship after a corrupt Ex Marine who turned his back on his Brothers. John Murtha never understood the meaning of Semper Fi! He called our Haditha Marines “cold blooded killers” before an investigation was ever complete. The pain and suffering he caused these brave Marines and their families was devastating! John Murtha is dead and we are left with his traitorous name and his betrayal of his Brothers. His name belongs in the Hall of Traitors, not on a Navy ship carrying noble men!

I do not know if the United States Navy still has Garbage Scows If they do I think the name USS John Murtha Garbage Scow would be an acceptable honor for a man of his stature.

I suggest they name a latrine after him so people can really enjoy dropping murtha’s and wipe their Obam’s afterward

I beg to differ with your analysis good sir!! A latrine serves a useful purpose, that can not be said of John Murtha.

Great post, but IMHO you need to add a point 3) After there was an investigation ALL of the Marine's charged were exonerated of murder.

Semper Fi,

Couldn’t agree more!

Sending out a NJ Freeper ping for more help in spreading the word. We must stop the Murtha name being associated with our US military!
