From a Marine Sargent, very fitting words left in the comments:

October 30th, 2007 at 9:46 pmTo all those who shall read this; Greetings.
Know ye that the special trust and bond of brotherhood between Marines has forever been the essence of our esprit de corps.
Know ye that Marines always have and always will watch out for each other from the day we first wear the eagle, globe, and anchor; until we have drawn our last breath, and our hearts lay forever still.
Know ye that it is a bond forged in centuries of blood, sweat and tears wherever we have marched.
Know ye that being forged in such fires is not a trivial matter, and is not forgotten easily.
Know ye that while this bond supports and encourages the noblest of warrior virtue, it breeds the opposite if betrayed.
Let it be known that Colonel Murtha, USMC has so betrayed this bond. He has, for personal gain amongst the lowest of our nation, and in standing with his disreputable new colleagues, undermined the mission that the United States Marine Corps have been ordered to carry out. He has also not only failed to speak up for his brothers dying in foreign lands, he has now gone so far as to condemn them out of hand. He has betrayed his brothers to their enemies, foreign and domestic. He has committed the ultimate sin amongst Marines, he has put himself before the Corps.
Therefore, let it be known to all who may read these words that Colonel Murtha, USMC is disavowed, and is brother to this Marine no more.
So be it, from this day forward, until the end of the Corps.
Semper Fidelis,
ASM826
Sgt. USMC

Murtha impugns the reputation of our fighting forces.
What a rambling blowhard…the face of the Democratic Party, along with Pelosi (I call them all the Pelostinians in Congress).
