Two years ago I wrote an article titled On Your Hands. I wrote it on the same day that I received in my email internet photographs of the mutilated bodies of Private First Class Kristian Menchaca, 23, of Houston and Private First Class Thomas L. Tucker, 25, of Madras, Oregon. I reached the point where I could no longer tolerate the insane babble coming from the mouths of certain politicians who clearly and daily place their politics ahead of the well-being of the men and women the majority of them voted to send to war. Now, the article appears to be making its umpteenth lap around the internet (wish I had a nickel for each time it has been re-posted somewhere) only this time one of the unauthorized editors of it decided it would be better if I was identified as a USMC Sergeant Major.

I have been soundly chastised by some for questioning Congressman John Murtha’s Marine credentials in the commentary. It seems I stepped over a line. I am told that since I have never been a Marine, I have no right to question what type of Marine Murtha was, is or is not. I understand pride in ones service so I apologized, but recalling the few Marines I encountered during my years of service, ABSCAM Jack did not measure up. Semper Fidelis (Always Faithful) did not seem to be his motto, unless we are speaking of faithfulness to self and to his political cronies. I even apologized to the Marines for elevating him to the lofty rank of butt pimple. I do however have the right to question his honor or lack thereof.

“Our troops overreacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in cold blood.” Congressman John Murtha, USMC Retired

Those words are what the Congressman had to say about his fellow Marines concerning Haditha. This incident was a fabrication from the outset based on a story planted by a propagandist and bought hook-line and sinker by the likes of the New York Times. Hyperventilating, they had found their Iraq Mi Lai and the Congressman was going to ride that horse right along with the rest of his anti-war colleagues. There is a little hitch however. Of the 8 Marines whose lives Murtha and the press helped to destroy, charges were dismissed outright against 5 of them, 1 was acquitted of all charges at trial, charges were recently dismissed against the most senior officer due to undue command influence and only one remaining awaits trial. Of course, the alleged atrocity was in every newspaper and Murtha’s face was in front of all the friendly talk show cameras expressing his outrage. Now that the case has practically crumbled to pieces and as the Marines slandered by Murtha and the press are declared innocent one after another there is not a single word. Dead silence. It should anger every American that honorable men and women routinely receive such treatment from the press and politicians.

It really added insult to injury for me with the latest Supreme Court, or is it now the Politburo, atrocity committed against the United States of America. When we capture bin Laden now, according to the decision, we will have to bring him here and give him the rights afforded any United States citizen under the Constitution. When a collection of people with lifetime appointments have suicidal ideations for our country, then the treatment that our Service men and women receive from politicians and the press should not be too shocking. It does not matter who is in the Whitehouse because the Supreme Politburo of the United States has usurped his or her constitutional authority as Commander in Chief. Every enemy prisoner of war taken on any battlefield now has rights under the Constitution of the United States.

KSM as he is called in the US press. Isn’t it nice how we give them neat little identifiers like UBL? I can remember when initials were used to affectionately identify former US presidents, JFK, FDR, LBJ, dubya… well maybe not always affectionately. KSM who we have raised from the level of brutal murderer to “mastermind” now has the rights that you have. Unlike our Marines, he now has the presumption of innocence. Let that sink in some. While you are doing that, see if you can find any instance where Jack Murtha talked about him killing innocent civilians in cold blood, or that Dick Durbin ever called him a Nazi, or…
