i remember when murtha was considered a friend to the armed forces....but you will note...the book takes place under the bush admin and they are the ones who ordered the men to stand down when the men felt like they had a good chance of chasing bin laden

Survivor of war loses dog to random violence
Beloved pet's killing reopens old wounds for former Navy SEAL
"Shrouded in darkness, Luttrell, who’d just been released from the hospital after another round of surgery, crawled under a fence, skirted a ditch and sneaked up on four strangers in a sedan who apparently killed the dog on a whim. Luttrell said they were oblivious as he raised a 9 mm pistol from about 25 yards away and had one of them dead to rights.
But as the car pulled away, he didn’t fire.
Instead, he scrambled back to his pickup and launched what became a wild 40-mile chase that reached speeds of over 100 mph and crossed three counties."

The way I remember it Marcus Luttrell was the final say on whether or not to kill the shepards. He made the decision to let them live because of fear that Murtha would have them prosecuted for murder. Then of course just like he figured they would the shepards ran and told the Taliban of their presence. How many seals died because they were afraid to be prosecuted for murder? I forget was it ten.? sucks to be Murtha.

Why would Lutrell or any of them "make the decision to let them live because of fear that Murtha would have them prosecuted for murder"?
Murtha first came to attention regarding Iraq when he spoke out about withdrawing our troops from Iraq in November 2005.
The Haditha incident also took place in November 2005...that's the action in which Murtha believed some of our troops behaved inappropriately, and publicly said so.
"Operation Red Wing" took place in June 2005-in Afghanistan-before any of that Murtha/Iraq/Haditha business took place...the SEALs chose NOT to kill men they thought to be innocent goat herders...and Congressman Murtha had NOTHING to do with their decision.
I guess this must be "dishonest fuck speak" for, "I have no problem lying and exploiting the deaths of heroes for partisan purposes".

Read the Damn Book!
While I've read plenty about Lutrell and Operation Red Wing, from a variety of sources, admittedly I haven't specifically read Marcus Lutrell's "damn book".
So you are saying that Lutrell, in his book, specifically blames John Murtha for what happened to him and his fellow SEALs in Afghanistan?

Listen carefully jackazz... Post number nine starts with the words The way I remember it bla bla bla.. He specifically said in the book he choose not to kill the shepards because he was afraid they would be tried for murder. Now the way I remember it Murtha was the one at the time saying our soldiers raped and murdered people and was calling for them to be tried.. and subsequentially the way I remember things the seven people Murtha accused of being murderers were all exonerated I'm still waiting for the jackazz to apologize.. but he won't. he got the DF syndrome too.

"The way you remember it"...well, maybe YOU better go back and read the book again sweetie, 'cos the Murtha flap was MONTHS after what happened to Marcus Lutrell and his fellow SEALs.
You should be more careful about slandering people and distorting facts...or making shit up.
According to what I've read, Lutrell says that Murphy put it to a vote (whether or not to kil the goat herders). Murphy's dad disputes this, says that his son would never have had his men vote on it, that he would have made the decision himself because he was in charge and that's the kind of guy he was.
Whatever the case, Congressman John Murtha had NOTHING to do with it.
Quit inventing, or "misremembering"...that's how some of these tall tales get started...somebody "misremembers" something in the course of a conversation that's somewhat related and slips a little something extra in there to try to tear down someone who they personally don't like...
Jeez, next thing you know, you'll be trying to tell us how John Murtha went and shot Marcus Lutrell's dog.
