He broke the bond
Somewhere out there... there is one very pissed off Marine:
To all those who shall read this; Greetings.
Know ye that the special trust and bond of brotherhood between Marines has forever been the essence of our esprit de corps.
Know ye that Marines always have and always will watch out for each other, every day from the day we first wear the eagle globe and anchor, until we have drawn our last breath, and our hearts lay forever still.
Know ye that it is a bond forged in in centuries of blood, sweat and tears wherever we have marched.
Know ye that being forged in such fires of combat it is not a trivial matter, and is not forgotten easily.
Know ye also, that while this bond supports and encourages the noblest of warrior virtue, it breeds the opposite if betrayed.
Let it be known that Colonel Murtha, USMC has so betrayed this bond. He has, for personal gain amongst the lowliest of our nation, and in standing with his disreputable new colleagues, endermined the mission that the US Marines have been ordered to carry out, he has also not only failed to speak up for his brothers dying in foreign lands, he has now gone so far as to condemn them out of hand. He has betrayed his borthers to their enemies, foreign and domestic. He has committed the ultimate sin amongst Marines; He has put himself before the Corps.

This truly is the face of senility.
Either that or he observes the rules of honor and loyalty much the same as an educated person observes the message of Hollywood ... from a distance and skeptically.

The one constant in both houses of Congress is that the title of Honorable is grossly misplaced. While I support the firing squad for traitors, it would be just to reduce their status to that of a common felon amongst the unemployed, living among those who they have trampled during their days in power.

As with John Kerry's medals, I have to wonder if Murtha did anything more in Vietnam to earn medals than attend officer club social functions.
Another glaring reason for the need for term limits.

John Murtha used to be a Marine. Now he's a traitor.
