Murtha is an old fool

I'm sorry, was I supposed to preface that with a bunch of crap about what a hero he is? Too bad. After doing some background on Murtha, I have come to the conclusion that his experience in combat has left him emotionally scarred. I think this leads him to be overly protective of the troops, basically never wanting them in harm's way. That is completely understandable, but that's not who the country should listen to for an objective assessment of strategy. He has certainly always been a friend to troops, in the context of voting for better benefits and conditions.
What the Lamestream Media conveniently skips over, is that he has been against this war from the beginning. He is constantly portrayed as having turned a huge corner, when that is simply not the case.
I didn't comment on his original idiotic statement, about how we should have a "Fall of Saigon" style surrender, mainly because everybody else in the world was talking about it. I can't take it any more, when the old fool goes on television and says the Army is "broken, worn out" and "living hand to mouth," that's it.
How could this moron describe the army's condition that way. Even soldiers that are against the war and touring the country for groups like VAIW, don't describe conditions that way. There is absolutely no source out there that describes conditions that way.
Even if conditions were like that, what kind of jackass sends that message to our troops and our enemies?
I vaguely recall from an old psychology course that there's an emotional stage that one goes into as one reaches the end of life. It's the "gentility" or "gerontology" stage, or some such thing. As I recall, you want to make peace with the world and give knowledge to the youngsters. Perhaps Murtha has entered this stage of his life. Mayby dementia has started to take hold? I don't know, but with so many American lives at risk, we can't afford to let crazy gramps near the microphones.
