Four years in the military.

I can neither confirm nor deny the things I've seen.

20+ years in the military. Neither can I confirm nor deny, but I don't go around spouting off at the pie-hole about it, making accusations I cannot back up. Touche'!

Thanks for your service, whether you did it begrudgingly or not.

Then you should know that there are things that the military will NOT let you discuss as well.

So...there's your "proof".

Does that mean that Murtha was right in throwing those Marines under the bus during the middle of an investigation?

He is nothing more than an opportunist that saw an opening to make a bigger name for himself in hopes of becoming Speaker of the House.

They say once a Marine, always a Marine...that scum bag doesn't deserve to be considered a Marine anymore.

Did you tell us what branch of service you were in, by the way, and when?

TKramar · 06-18-2008, 01:19 PM

US Navy 1988-1992.

So I served in Desert Storm, although I didn't agree with it.

Rank? Rate? Duty Station? Ship? Shore?

IC3, my original ship, the USS Coral Sea, was decommissioned by that time, so they put me aboard an AFS.

I'm a member of the American Legion and VFW.
