Mostly Cajun
looks at John Murtha and has a little problem with Murtha's consistency:
Remember John Murtha?
He�s ths dummocratic congressman who touted his own service in the Marines during his anti-bush, anti-war rants.
Well, I�m starting to understand Mr. Murtha. Seems he�s kinda like Mr. John �F*ck you buddies� Kerry in the way that he remembers his wartime service. Things seem to change. Murtha waves his two Purple Hearts around a lot, but there�s a problem. He never tells the same story twice about the wounds he received which qualify him for the awards. According to this article:�In the first incident, his right cheek was lacerated, and in the second, he was lacerated above his left eye. Neither injury required evacuation,�
Cajun then goes on to quote other sources as follows (excerpted):
"
I was wounded in the arm with shrapnel" and "
In the other, my knee was banged up and my arm was banged up"
and
"
struck in the ankle by a shot"
and
"
small scratch on your cheek" and "
The other purple heart [sic] you even declined to explain,� wrote Bailey"
And Cajun's closing comment:
So here, it seems, we have another big-mouth dummocrat pseudo-war hero who can�t seem to tell the same story twice about himself�
And now Murtha is anti-Bush and anti-Iraqi Freedom. Another partisan hack.
