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".

Thnkvermch,

Si Simmons

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?
