Selective counting.

No, "every one" has a very clear meaning. It does not allow for exceptions. This is not rocket science, it's pretty basic. The only people confused are those who choose to be because they don't want the answer to be what it is.

I know, I know, I am wandering from the topic, but this needs to be said.

It is well known that bhkad was very much against Murtha, and couldn't stand him. However, he was gracious enough to post a RIP thread for Murtha when he died. To me, this shows that bhkad has a whole world of class, contained inside of him. My respect for him just went up a couple of hundred notches.

Well done, bhkad.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but this had to be said.

Just goes to show that even people who may not agree with policies, that when a death occurs some people can put that aside for a moment and show some respect.

True that.

And some people can't. I think it might have a lot to do with good or bad parenting.

If you don't want people pooping up the [r.i.p] thread, do you think attacking those you disagree with here is a right thing to do?

I've provided an outlet for people to express thier true feeling on Murtha, I have shown this thread respect. Insulting me and others backhandedly in this thread, is not really showing equal respect, is it?

as for bad or good parenting? I think it has to do more with Murtha willing to send innocent marines to jail or the electric chair for his politics. But thanks for that.

Aside from Murtha's comments about the marine's being "over -stressed and killing innocent civillians in cold blood," which, technically, was true (albeit not-intentional) it is good that he no longer serves the government.

He was well known to be war-hawkish and directed a LOT of his time and energy keeping the defense industry fat.

Whereas I do believe in a strong and invincible defense, I also know that peacetime is no friend to those in that particular industry. War might be good for their business but it's hell on families and children and should be avoided if at all possible. I have a feeling that Murtha and his cohorts did not share this sentiment with me. Maybe towards the end he did. But up until then, to me, he was just another war-mongering suit. He might as well have been a republican as far as I can tell.

He has a new commanding officer now.

Rest in piece Colonial, a salute from one Marine to another. You served your country honorably forty years ago in Nam ,you served the people of Pennsylvania honorably since then.
