are not true patriots. For if they do indeed truly feel as DeFrank writes they do, then they should have put the flag and its people ahead of political gain and steered the party and then the country away from Duh-b-ya. Instead, they kept their mouths shut and continued to make their big bucks on various boards, making $$$ speeches, etc. and watched this country sink into its current abyss.
To me, Jack Murtha is one of the ultimate patriots--he has had the courage (and patriotism) to criticize the Marines, a group that he clearly holds deep in his heart and soul, for the atrocities some may have committed. For the betterment of the whole institution. I may disagree with other views he holds, but I truly respect him for that stance.
The 41s can go back to their gated communities, board rooms and golf outings with 41 himself. Still they hide behind a reporter. They don't deserve our respect.
