Charges are Dropped: Where Do the Marines Go to get their Reputations Back?

Not to Congressman Jack Murtha who called them terrorists and killers.
"It [Haditha, Marines] is as bad as Abu Ghraib, if not worse."(Murtha, May 2006)"... they [Marines] killed innocent civilians in cold blood."(Murtha, May 17, 2006 at news conference)

The prosecutions of Marines involved in the case have slowly unravelled, however.
Capt McConnell and another officer, Captain Randy Stone, have both had charges of failing to investigate the killing withdrawn.
Two soldiers originally charged with murder in the case have also been cleared, while an investigating officer has recommended that charges against a third soldier are also dropped.
That would leave only one soldier, Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, facing murder charges in connection with the deaths.

Murtha is a total moron and a disgrace to the proud uniform he once wore. The arrogant SOB can't even apologize to the Marines he slandered.

To prove he is still at the top of the heap at moonbat central, Murtha says, Post-Withdrawal Bloodbath Would Not Be Congress’ Fault.

Murtha has never had any scruples, dignity, integrity, or honor. If his constituents continue to re-elect him, his shame becomes theirs, to the detriment of us all.

All the Marines I know say there is a definite difference between a former Marine and an ex Marine. A Former Marine is one who has served honorably and would likely return to service if called. An Ex Marine is the opposite. Murtha is definitely an EX Marine. And there is nothing honorable about him, at all at all.

I almost barfed when I saw him stand when the Marine Hymn was played at the Memorial Day festivities shown on TV last May.

It is too bad that our society is not quicker to consider people innocent, when charges are dropped.
(How many of you considered OJ Guilty after his charges were dropped?)

Charges Dropped, means high probability of innocence, and that if I am being fair, I treat the people as innocent.

Innocent until Proven Guilty, seems only to apply to the justice system; not individual thought.

Yes I am White and If I were on The OJ jury I would have let him go Also. The Two Morons running the prosecution Supplied all the reasonable doubt .

Rush Limbaugh's got no business on the Armed Forces Radio Network launching attacks on military personnel, and his right to free speech does not guarantee him placement there at government expense.
