I don't know about Murtha but IMO Kerry was not a former war hero and he did not give meritorious service to his country. That demeans all heroes and all those that did give meritorious service.

My dad served two tours, that's full tours, of duty in Viet Nam and thank God he did not get one Purple Heart, just a bad skin condition due to the constant humidity.

I mean, come on, three Purple Hearts, the number required to get the heck out of there, and not one over night stay in a medical clinic??????????

I'm not talking about objective reality here, obviously Kerry was a disgrace to his country and to the military, and a traitor as well. I'm talking about the democrat tactic of having someone with purple hearts, or combat record, or relatives who died during battle, to represent their communist position on issues, so it would be more difficult to attack their credibility.
