Yes, but according to Pan, "Pathetic pieces of greedy, power hungry shit are the only ones that will question or bring up any man's service in combat to use against him." I even quoted it.

Rather than playing the tired game of offering up sites with a decided ideology, why don't you tell us how YOU feel about the swift boating of Murtha's war record? Is it worth it because you disagree with him?

I'm going to need a definition of "swift boating." Is it not allowing a person you thought was a piece of shit while serving alongside him to exaggerate his record beyond recognition? (By the way, I looked up Kerry's bronze star award--it's signed by John Lehman, who wasn't SECNAV until over ten years after Kerry was out. The only way that could have happened is if Kerry managed to have it "edited" after he made some congressional connections.
Is it bringing up a 35-year-old DUI a week before the election, like Gore did to Cheney?
My opinion is that it's sad for a legitimate war hero to sell out. Randy Cunningham did it for bribes, and Murtha did it for political gain.
Both are reprehensible, but I think Murtha's actions are likely to get more of our troops killed.
