#2 Who in the Navy/Exec branch/Congress pushed this through? Mertha may have been behind it, thinking he might need it to win next election. If that were true, wouldn't it be dandy to let his voters know?

#3 A Bush Appointee did it. Do we need to follow Money?

In one of his last moves before leaving office March 13, then-Navy Secretary Donald Winter quietly awarded 19-term Democratic congressman John Murtha (Pa.) with the service's highest civilian honor.

#4 Perhaps Mr. Winter has a job offer at one of X-Marine Murtha's favorite companies? This 'award' is a disgrace to the Navy.

#5 Perhaps they could offer him a free keelhauling instead.

#6 I'd like to offer that fat f*cker a long walk off a short pier. Indeed an X-Marine. I'd like to kick his ass six ways from Sunday, steaming pompous blow hard pile of sh*t that he is. Jack "Turncoat" Murtha.
