WASHINGTON – Rep. John Murtha, a retired Marine Corps officer who became the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress and later an outspoken and influential critic of the Iraq War, died Monday. He was 77.

Why the “EX” in the title? Marines have a saying – “Once a Marine, always a Marine. There are only formerly active Marines.” There has been one exception since 1961 (Oswald, although his training showed – long range shot, down hill, at a moving target…) and Murtha has been added to the short list of EX Marines.

Now, I’m gonna start taking the advice of Momma and stop talking, since I have nothing nice to say about the man.

Chat ya later…
