some gave all, hug a vet today, Honor all

On May 17, Rep. John Murtha), D-Pa., a former Marine, said Corps officials told him the toll in the Haditha attack was far worse than originally reported and that U.S. troops killed innocent women and children "in cold blood." He said that nearly twice as many people were killed as first reported and maintained that U.S. forces were "overstretched and overstressed" by the war in Iraq.
Pentagon spokesman Eric Ruff said Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld was being kept apprised. Ruff said he did not expect any announcements in the next few days.

Personal note. I have every respect for all our service men, from Vietnam vets to Gulf War vets. I honor them this Veterans day. I celebrate the sacrifice they made and the service to our great country. My Dad was a vet, my two sons are both vets. They served. Bush, Cheney, Rummy and Rice did not.
As I have said before many gave all for the USA, to some the flag is “old Glory”. I have also said “war is hell war is about killing”. We send these brave honorable men into war then press charges for doing the job. That's is why they are there. To fight. Unless you have been in war, you and others of like mind will never understand. John Kerry knows war, he would not have invaded Iraq. John Kerry would have insisted on a clear exit plan before invasion of a country that had already in fact surrendered. John Kerry knows honor and he knows what these men will face in war.
John Murtha knows war, he has been there, he served.
