The Department to the Navy has decided to give Rep. "Fightin'" John Murtha (D-PA) its Distinguished Public Service Award, the highest public service recognition given to a non-employee by the Department of the Navy. This would be the same John Murtha who, in May 2006, slandered U.S. Marines by accusing them of war crimes, saying they were nothing but "cold-blooded killers" who "murdered innocent civilians."
That is the biggest demonstration of pandering that I can recall since John Glenn got a ride in space as a US Senator.This guy has proven where his loyalties lie and it is NOT with the Military!
There is a petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/usmc2009/petition.html where you can tell the Navy leadership your feelings about this outrage. Also if you want to read more about it is on the Patriot Post article entitled - Department of Military Correctness: Murtha's Award - http://PatriotPost.US

First of all, Dad's post is proof that the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree.
Secondly, this goes to show that the politicians don't have a monopoly on being political. Then again, any junior officer can tell you that military "leadership" (at the top that is) is 90% politics. That said, the commanding officers I worked for were some of the smartest, most able people and leaders I've known.

And, just to share, here is this morning's sunrise:
