I'm pretty sure that gatt was reacting to the opponent's trashing of
McCain's
POW experience rather than any opponent disagreeing with any political
position.

Exactly. I was less than clear in my previous post, but that's what I meant.

(I disagree strongly with much of what Murtha says, but in other forums
there are folks calling him a coward, a traitor and a liar, which is to
suggest that the Navy and the Marine Corps honor cowardice or that they lied
when they saw fit to decorate him for heroism. Such an accusation
challenges not only the integrity of the Murtha, but of the Marine Corps,
and if a politican does that, he's not going to get my vote, he's going to
get my absolute contempt. Semper Fi, et al.)
