Channeling Chesty Puller USMC

According to Reuters (Mouth Piece to Al Qaeda): John Murtha was asked


"Would you join (the military) today?"

"No," replied Murtha of Pennsylvania, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives subcommittee that oversees defense spending and one of his partys leading spokesmen on military issues."


Well, this man is such a modern day hero to the left and he gets such great ink that I thought I'd ask someone in the know about taking John Murtha as a Recruit, or even returning him to active duty.

GM: General Puller, as probably the greatest Marine in the history of the United States what are your thoughts on Representative John Murtha, a democrat from Pennsylvania who was recently asked if he would join the service today and he gave an unequivocal NO?

General Puller: We wouldn't have that fat assed sorry blivit in the United States Military if it was the last battle, last war and he was the last person available.

GM: I understand some of your anger General Puller, but Murtha was a hero, he was decorated in Vietnam.

General Puller: Listen son, Murtha was a hero, he did some fine work in My Marine Corps, and I thank him for his service. But he has stepped down from the train so to speak and lost his way.

GM: What do you mean by that General?

General Puller: Easy son, Murtha has forgotten what he stood for. He made a name for himself in the United States Congress as someone who stood up for the military. Someone who cared. Then, along with his fellow Democrats, he found out that he could get a lot of publicity by denigrating our troops who are laying their lives on the line for the establishment of freedom in a place that hasn't been free in many decades. He's like that Wesley Clark fellow, the one that commanded NATO but was so obnoxious he was "fired" from his job by a wuss like Bill Clinton and then he had the balls to run for the Presidency. Probably will do so again damn it!

GM: I understand General Puller. So, do you think Mr. Murtha is, how shall we say this, "un-patriotic?"

General Puller: Don't go there boy! It is not a matter of being patriotic or not, it's a matter of judgment. Do you put the needs of your party ahead, or the needs of a bunch of fine young warriors! Look, Murtha, and his fellow travelers have made a decision, one that gets them headlines and is inimical to the best interests of the United States of America. When you get sworn in son, you swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies. Foreign or Domestic. That author fellow, George Orwell noted that pacifism ultimately supports your enemies. That is exactly what Murtha is doing and in my opinion, is going against his sworn oath. That oath doesn't allow for any finger crossing, you can't say except when it goes against my opponent’s party, you can't say only if I like the current President. Naw, it doesn't work that way. You set your politics aside at the waters edge. There are bad people out there son, they want to kill you, your family, and they want to kill Murtha and his family. They already tried once; one of those four planes was headed for the Capital of the United States of America on September 11. Why that bloated, mealy mouthed, son-of-a-bitch can't see that is beyond me. I thought he got better training in the Corps. Hell, he did get better training and it showed, but I guess in his case, the spotlight was more important, he was a patriot son, and he really was. Now he is just a scoundrel. Besides, we don't accept septuagenarians and if we did, we wouldn't accept him.

GM: General, thanks for your input, you have cleared it up for me, and for my readers as well.

General Puller: Anytime son, just pick up that phone and call 1-800-PULLER! Direct access boy and it's toll free!

Mega-great post, GM!

I loved -- "We wouldn't have that fat assed sorry blivit in the United States Military if it was the last battle, last war and he was the last person available."

If you need to edit this, please do but I am a retired Marine Officer and this is how I see it...

If Lt Gen Puller we alive today, he'd grab Murtha by the balls, punch him in the face and TELL him what a rotten SOB he really is...

OooRah and Semper Fi...

WOW! Great post G.M.!
You said it all......

Murtha is from Pennsylvania, not Massachusetts.




Other than that, he should not be on the defense committee with an attitude like he has displayed. Nor should he even be in Congress.

Murtha has forgotten what he stood for. He made a name for himself in the United States Congress as someone who stood up for the military. Someone who cared. Then, along with his fellow Democrats, he found out that he could get a lot of publicity by denigrating our troops who are laying their lives on the line for the establishment of freedom in a place that hasn't been free in many decades.

Yeah, Murtha has lost his way.

I always have reservations about those who live in relative obscurity and suddenly are propelled to the front pages and no one questions why they so quickly trade that obscurity for cameras, a podium and a microphone.

Loved it. Kudos to you.

GM, Back from (eck) California ( the state of my birth, my parents birth, my wife's and my only child). Some good folk still there, but too many idiots.

Well, IRT your "channeling" LtGen Lewis "Chesty" Puller, you're right on the mark. Sadly, but proudly, I attended his funeral in Christ Church, VA. He was the REAL DEAL. Murtha is not. While Murtha may have done some service in the Corps, he most definately has lost his way, big time.

BTW I was visiting my daughter who is married to a Marine.

Hope all your holidays....including last nights' game...were a good ones.

Semper Fidelis

Tad, USMC (Ret)

P.S. Attention Ninnies: Yes, constructive criticism is both encouraged and more than useful, however, when one just bleats Lefty tripe and doesn't have a viable alternative....well, you are are NOT improving the situation.
