Semper fi

Semper Fi to Murtha means never having to say your sorry.He's just angry he didn't think of John Kerry's idea of fleeing a hot zone,hanging your brothers out to dry, and then having the nuts to come back the next day-have the site checked first to see if it was stll cleared,and film himself in newly pressed BVDs,M16 in one hand and a grenade in his teeth.I can't believe this guy wasn't fragged.I'm a Navy Namvet and the way the Democrats smeared the swift boat vets told me all I need to know about Murtha and his kind.I pray he has the decency to buy a private grave outside a veteren's cemetary.

Murtha makes Kerry look good...if that’s possible.

Thanks for your service!

Nice piece,I thank you for your service,and although having never been in,I do understand the bonds. Murtha will deserve whatever fate may come his way. To blatantly lie about anyone is bad enough,but to do it about the troops is beyond the pale.And yet,the people of Pa. keep electing the nitwit. HOW does that happen?

This bothers me more than the Murtha’s behavior. More than bothered…I’m worried.

Thanks for the kind words and for dropping in.

I could not have said it better. ABSCAM Murtha lost the right to call himself a Marine after his exploits with the Haditha Marines.

I spit on him and his name.

Thank you for an outstanding

letter to dirtbag Murtha. I find him too repulsive to put in words. As Christians, we are to pray for our enemies, but with Murtha I just have to ask God for forgiveness, because I just can't sincerely pray for him. What he put our Haditha guys through is simply not forgiveable in my book. He isn't the kind to seek forgiveness, so he will pay, big time, for what he's done. I'm going to take your que and write to him too. I'll just send a slow mail letter.

Thanks again, Tim. Semper Fi

Power corrupts . . . .

Lord Acton said it most brilliantly, and no doubt Murtha has been corrupted by the power he seems to wield in that bizarre part of PA - my dad was USN for 32 years, a Nuke in the silent service - and never did he criticize the CINC, ever - even during Watergate and the lowly Carter years. And now with many family in the service, though not myself, Murtha is a disgrace and should be representing San Francisco rather than the working class of PA.

His political bulling, corruption, and anti-war rhetoric pale in comparison to what he did to those young men. The good news is, those same Marines, for all the unnecessary stress they endured, now realize how many Americans will stand with them against injustice.

I'll just ditto everyone else as they have done a stellar job at assessing and verbalizing the lack of any character or integrity of said windbag/thief/narcissist/traitor/sell-out/coward/pi$$ant of the most despicable kind.

My Cousin

a retired USMC.
I once said to him, "Murtha disproves the adage, 'Once a Marine, Always a Marine'".
My cousin said no, Murtha never was a Marine. He just wore the trappings.Kinda like USN Hanoi John who left CONUS KNOWING the 3 Purple Heart rule and got his as fast as he could self inflict them.

House Rep ,. Murtha near Pitts.

House Rep. Murtha is a Demoncrat who has recently beaten a war vet, Russell. His outrageous comments and temper have made him persona non grata to the military. However, he is in a safe Dem district and unless a Pub candidate can whittle away some of those union Dems that always support him, he will be there till Jesus comes. Of course, if Jesus does come, John will not be going home with Him! Drop by.

Kudos to your cousin. How do the likes of Kerry and Murtha get to such positions of power? Speaks volumes for the voters.

Pithy, accurate and no-holes barred. Well done, InTheNow. I am grateful to you and all our members of all military branches for putting it on the line for us all.

I guess if I had anything to say, it's that I hope you don't lose righteous anger. Emotional anger, yea that needs to go from all of us. Don't know if that makes sense.

Thanx for a great read and I hope someone from PA has the umph to send the letter on.

Being angry with Murtha is like being upset with the pile of dog mess you just stepped in. I’m annoyed with the Pennsylvania voters that keep defecating.

Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by.

Thanks for your service. As a fellow vet (though certainly not as distinguished), my hackles go up everytime I hear the name of this dirtbag. He is scurrilous, his actions against the Haditha Marines was slanderous, and the award is scandalous.

Here is a link to a petition to have the award rescinded (h/t to Crawfish)
