#1 As the father of a Marine who will deploy to Iraq shortly...I hope that sorry sack of $hit rots in H*ll for what he did to those men and The Corps.

#2 'mouse, please be so kind as to extend my personal gratitude to your child for serving in our nation's defense. Ordinary words are wholly inadequate to the task.

#3 Usually someone making these sort of serious accusations has at least a shred of evidence. Allegations are not proof of anything.

Except in cases of BDS syndrome. And ~~Mumra~~ Murtha is a typhoid-mary of BDS.

#4 Anymouse - I share your sentiments and pride. My son was there in 2004-2005 and said he will never forget being there for the elections. Keep the cards, letters, and care packages flowing - some of the kids don't seem to have families, and my son shared a lot of his loot. Semper Fi!

#5 Murtha is a disgrace to Marines, veterans and even to congressmen. He needs to be put on trial. I hope those Marines milk him for all he is worth.

#6 The money might be more productively spent in a primary campaign. Success in that would make the subsequent suit much easier to pursue but reduce the value. A real EMV problem.

#7 His district votes him out, or I vote his district out. That POS.

It's called "projection". The Donks have an entire playbook of McCarthyism tactics. They just believe they should have a monopoly on the methodology and object if anyone else in even the slightest should do something that gives a scent of it. Especially, if the 'others' actually have the documentation and evidence by the box full.

#9 I wish Wuterich had waited after his hearing. I bet the Dems are now putting pressure on the Marines to indict Wuterich and get Murtha off the hook.

#10 It's too late. Murtha has already done too much damage, all the fawktards in the international press just repeat "Haditha, Haditha" as some sort of established fact.

#11 Murtha is a very well known a**hole on the Hill. He is arrogant, egomanical and in some ways senile in his stupidity. He is a crook, a shyster and one of the most blatantly corrupt politicians in DC. I don't think it will take much legal action to have him crawl back under his rock with an apology.

#12 The idea of voting him out is nice, but I live in the district next door, and I can tell ya there is no chance. His constituents are like zombies, living in a shelled out land of shuttered factories. If it weren't for the pork jackie boy sends there, it would be well on the way to reverting to forest land...

#13 BTW, it's 60 years plus of voting for dems that made the Johnstown area the blighted mess it is, same for the Mon Valley here. And yet, the voters of these benighted areas vote again and again for more of the same, and they get more of it, although the don't "get it..."

#14 Welfare in any form. The more you subsidize something the more of it you get. The heroin of the political class. Its make the constituents feel good in the short run, but destroys the body and will in the long run.

#15 As one who served in the Corps, I always understood that there is no such thing as an ex-Marine. That is, until Murtha came along.

#16 Did John Murtha assume the worst of these marines because of his own behavior in Viet Nam? I know that he was a well-decorated marine there, but is it possible that he also did some very bad things? Even though I detest what he did to our troops, I don't want to swift boat him. Unless, of course, he did do some terrible things while a marine.

#17 My dad was a Marine. So was my father in law. But so was this guy and Ramsey Clark, so I guess there's bound to be a few defects in the system...

Maybe we need to make an exception in this case. Nudge. Nudge.

#19 I kniow soldiers fromt here - they say its like this: as long as the retired union ~~leeches~~ people get their checks, they'll pull the lever for Jack. The only thing that will get him run out of office is the proverbial being found in bed with a a dead woman or a live boy.

#20 Lee Harvey Oswald was also a 'former Marine', if I understood Pappy correctly on the proper vernacular. My son, in that case, is an 'ex-Marine"?

I get so confused ...

#21 Is there anyone collecting for the Marine to help financially in his defense? I would love to help with even the little I can give especially if he goes after Murtha.

#22 Jan, News Max has a Haditha fund...100% goes to the defense fund.

#23 Former Marines no longer waer the uniform.

Ex-Marines are few - that Murtha, and Scott Ritter (You remember him, the paedophile, weapons inspector)

No, Bobby, your son is a Marine, always will be. There are no former Marines, there are a few ex-marines. The Green doesn't always take.
