#1 To sum up Rep. Murtha's position: give the military lots of money, but never let them off the parade ground.

#2 He knows he'll be fact-checked by the blogs, and still says stupid stuff like "Enlistment for the regular forces as well as the guard and reserves are well below recruitment goals".

#3 What I don't get about Murtha is this: he was a career Marine during one of the absolute worst eras for the US military. Now that we have the best military we've EVER fielded (though smaller than I would like), he's going on about how pathetic and helpless they are.

Is he
a) projecting
b) senile
c) disingenuous
d) all of the above?

It's a shame to see. At least Kennedy and Pelosi, et al never had any honor to lose.

#4 Very well said, SP. I would have to guess "d", myself.

#6 I met Admiral Stockdale a couple years ago (he was barely competent) and he was receiving a lifetime achievement award from the SD City Council - he had to be helped thru the proceedings but his bearing was still majestic. Murtha shows me nothing of th esame, and revels in his attention. I call pathetic fool, demenaning all he's done in serving in the past

#7 I'm sorry to hear that Stockdale is getting so old. He was a true gentleman.
