Air Force Academy graduate in 1987 - peacetime. Ramstein Air Base - not a war zone and in peace time. OK that clarifies. Now, what makes the opinion of someone who served more “important” than 9for example) someon who wanted to serve but was rejected for whatever reason?

Pure and simple KH you are just as guilty of speaking of things YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT as you accuse Andy of being. That does not do well for your argument.

I am an army wife. My husband served in the Army during the Grenada invasion. Yeah I know, it isn’t Iraq, but it is still technically a war service even though he was not in theatre. However, going by Congressman Murtha’s logic (and yours based on your defense of the congressman) YOU have as much standing to comment on the implimentation of the Iraq War as ANDY DOES!

Now, would you care to abandon the hyperbole and discuss this rationally?

I will ask you what Murtha asked, and you see if you feel offended, because that was his litmus test.

Did you serve in Viet Nam?

Have you served in Iraq?

Because according to Murtha, if you haven’t served in war, you can’t comment on it. That is not correct. We have free speech in this country. You and Murtha are trying to take that away.

I thank you for your service, but I am sorry that you do not understand what it is that you and the others fought for.

I graduated from the air force academy in 1987, went to med school, did my residency in San Antonio texas and worked at the us hospital, Ramstein. Now retired and practicing here. He pretends he knows about war and what the military does. He is a pretender and off on many accounts. I encourage all of you to visit our troops at Walter Reed.

LL asks a valid question KH. Because according to Murtha’s logic you shouldn’t be allowed to say anything otherwise.

So either admit the validity of triple_A’s point, or else follow your hero’s advice and stay silent.

You have no clue as to what a marine would not want to know about a fellow marine. Your fat ass and bald head would not make it through one day at Parris Island. You have never been to war, you just pretend.
