Bill:   
 
I never would have dreamed that such an obvious swipe at "ICBMurtha" would be considered a swipe at the Marine Corps. 
 
A Marine who recently called a radio talk show host concerning Murtha's statements lambasting the Marines fighting in Iraq, opined that, "Once a Moron always a Moron", applies to Murtha.  Maybe Murtha has company.  
 
I've had no feedback re the letter.  Email discussions among fellow Vets re "ICBMurtha" share my disgust for this man  --  But then, they "got it".

Mr. Simmons:
 
I published your letter the other day and caught some flak from a marine who read it as a swipe at the Corps. I phoned him up and told him my impression was that it was a swipe at Murtha for his lack of support for U.S. troops.
 
Have you had any feedback?
