Lunch With Congressman Murtha
So tomorrow I have the opportunity to have lunch with Congressman Murtha. Quite frankly he doesn't view the world the same as me. So we'll see how it goes. I won't make any promises, but I will attempt to behave myself. I should probably do that. No guarantees...I'm stubborn. And if the CMC can't hide from my hard questions I don't see why a Congressman should. God I'm horrible. :marine:

Guys, don't hesitate to tell me to shut up and go away, I don't want to be a misfit (out of ignorance), but I really can't comprehend the attitude displayed by this post. If this is typical of the Marine attitude within the ranks, then I will leave, again. Strap it on me, I want to know. I would not be seen in public with USMC Col. Murtha under any circumstance, EXCEPT in the case of one of us chasing the other to the brig. Does the USMC still have any brigs or is everything all politically correct and any arrogance goes? Does the USMC still use brig chasers, or is that too crude? I thought I had the worst record possible in the USMC, I lied, cheated at cards, drank beer (underage in bars, ain't such as this just awful?), by my own admission I was a dumb ****bird, HOWEVER, for all my many failings & limitations, I was never a prideful, arrogant, self centered striving son-of-a *****.
Moderator, your call, if any doubt, cut me loose, I probably don't belong here.

I Guess I really am a dumb SOB
Thanks for the post Alisium, Like the old Johnny Cash song, I came away with a different point of view, after reading your conclusion. I would never have thought about the theme of the post that way, but it's a good possibility. Everybody in my family really does frequently warn me to shut up and go away. I believe it's time for me to take their advice and be quiet. Kindest regards and Gung Ho. Gary Hall.
