Murtha is a war hero...I wish him well

 

[Xenophon]

I don't like the guy, nontheless I hope he recovers.

 

[xsited1]

I'm trying to find some sympathy for a guy who wrongly accused our Marines of murder and didn't apologize for it. I'll let you know if I find any.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

If the students were never killed, I'd never know where Kent State was; until he called our Marines coldblooded murderers, I'd never heard of John Murtha.

 

[Avatar4321]

I hope the Drs make his stay with them as comfortable as possible.

 

[Darkwind]

I have no sympathy for the man. But I do hope he recovers.

 

[Wicked Jester]

Oh well, shit happens.

nuff said.

 

[CMike]

I am not going to say anything negative about a person in the hospital.

Benedict Arnold V (January 14, 1741 [O.S. January 3, 1740][1][2] – June 14, 1801) was a general during the American Revolutionary War who originally fought for the American Continental Army but switched sides to the British Empire. While he was still a general on the American side, he obtained command of the fort at West Point, New York, and plotted unsuccessfully to surrender it to the British. After the plot failed, he served in the British military.
He distinguished himself early in the war through acts of cunning and bravery. His many successful actions included the Capture of Fort Ticonderoga in 1775, successful defensive and delaying tactics while losing the Battle of Valcour Island on Lake Champlain in 1776, the Battle of Ridgefield, Connecticut (after which he was promoted to Major General), and the pivotal Battles of Saratoga in 1777, in which he suffered leg injuries that effectively ended his combat career for several years.

Quit insulting scum.

 

[Wicked Jester]

His war days should be commended.

His baseless attack against our marines, purely for partisan gain, should haunt him for the rest of his days and beyond!

Same goes for Kerry!

IMHO.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Murtha is a war hero...I wish him well

He's also one corrupt bastard. Karma is a bitch.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

I always wish for folks to be out of pain, to be healthy. I wish no man ill.

After his remarks, I have contributed funds almost every cycle to have him replaced.

But I hope he gets better. Unemployed. But healthy.

If the students were never killed, I'd never know where Kent State was; until he called our Marines coldblooded murderers, I'd never heard of John Murtha.

Murtha was born into an Irish-American family in New Martinsville, West Virginia; near the border with Ohio and Pennsylvania, and grew up in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania; a largely suburban county east of Pittsburgh.

As a youth, he became an Eagle Scout. He also worked delivering newspapers and at a gas station before graduating from The Kiski School, an all-male boarding school in Saltsburg, Pennsylvania.

Murtha left Washington and Jefferson College in 1952 to join the Marine Corps and was awarded the American Spirit Honor Medal for displaying outstanding leadership qualities during training. Murtha became a drill instructor at Parris Island and was selected for Officer Candidate School at Quantico, Virginia. Murtha was then assigned to the Second Marine Division, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Murtha remained in the Marine Forces Reserve, and ran a small business, Johnstown Minute Car Wash (which still operates in the West End section of Johnstown.) He also attended the University of Pittsburgh on the G.I. Bill, and received a degree in economics. Murtha later took graduate courses from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Murtha married his wife Joyce on June 10, 1955. They have three children and live in Johnstown.

Murtha left the Marines in 1955. He remained in the Reserves after his discharge from active duty until he volunteered for service in the Vietnam War, serving from 1966 to 1967, serving as a battalion staff officer (S-2 Intelligence Section), receiving the Bronze Star with Valor device, two Purple Hearts and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.
