Critics Slam Decision to Name Navy Ship for John Murtha

15 April 2010

"This is a slap in the face to every service member who bridled when Murtha publicly accused Marines in Iraq of intentionally killing women and children in cold blood," the editorial reads.

The newspaper said the honor shouldn't go to "a political hack whose most successful defensive maneuver was saving his pork-laden earmarks from surprise attacks of fiscal responsibility."

The story is not at your link Navy. You linked to Fox's main page. Can you give us a working link please.
 
Having a ship named after Murtha is about as appropriate as having a ship named after Hanoi Jane
 
or dirty dan rostenkowski
 
Taking the side no one really expects from me...if people have a problem with the name, change it. I don't think it's a problem, it's just the name of a ship. I also don't think it is worth making a big deal over. If people don't like it, just change it, it's not a big deal.

What's the fine for just going up to a Navy ship and painting out the name on it and painting another name?

Not really doable actually, without the right equipment to get to it.

It's an LPD. It's.....a little large for that.
 
NP, that's noit very nice things you are saying about an american Veteran.

Murtha was a marine corp officer during the viet nam war.

Can not you let this american hero rest in peace or have you become a left winger?
 
John Murtha wasn't particularly corrupt. Indeed, I wouldn't even define most of the allegations of corruption levelled against his associates as real corruption by Washington standards.
 
tell it to melanie sloan
