“Questions about my record are clearly an attempt to distract attention from the real issue, which is that our brave men and women in uniform are dying and being injured every day in the middle of a civil war that can be resolved only by the Iraqis themselves.”
“I volunteered for a year’s duty in Vietnam. I was out in the field almost every single day. We took heavy casualties in my regiment the year that I was there. In my fitness reports, I was rated No. 1. My record is clear.”
— Rep. John Murtha

i CAN’T BELIEVE THE NERVE OF THE G.O.P. THIS GUY IS CLEARLY A PATRIOT. WILL THEY EVER HAVE CREDITABLITY AGAIN?
Murtha needs to do what John Kerry did to defuse his critics. Release his complete military records to the public.
Oh. Wait. Kerry never released all his records to the public.
Never mind.
I think Murtha should do what Kerry did. use his Magic Hat to get out of this one.
Just like Bush released all of his military records.
But oh wait! All that was there was a dental appoinment in Alabama. The rest was “lost.”
And just like Cheney released his.
Oh wait – Cheney had five deferments so he has no military records.
I am a Navy veteran of WW11 who served from 1942-1846 with over two years on submarines. My Navy service number is 643-08-76 if anyone wants to check my war record, go ahead.
So why won’t Keryy and Murtha do the same. What are they hiding?????
Bush should release his service records first. What is he hiding? Coke binges, wrecking a million dollar plane, plus dozens of small infractions because the rules don’t apply to aristocrats, even ones who talk like slack-jawed goobers.
