Who exactly are you accusing of cowardice? Remember your own deeds before pointing that oh so deadly finger. The information I gather from this statement is that plenty of people can run away from an unfair fight. Seams to me, however, that we as the American people always adapt and overcome because of the few; Not the many.
I love how I go to Afghanistan and there are civilians in rooms like that, that make all the decisions including the one to send me and my brothers. And then they cower when we are the ones who see first hand what our efforts are. I've made so many Afghani friends and seen so many roads and schools built. I've also seen so many good people and villages prosper after the removal of a few inhumane creatures that somehow were born as humans in this ridiculous world. I've been trying to get back ever since 2011. Afghanistan was the worst and best moments in my life. And I know my brothers who went to Iraq, Kuwait, etc. can say the same thing. Semper Fi.
stone rhodes -- Actually that is the preferred term when referring to a Marine no longer on active duty. Sgt USMC 1964-1970 Vietnam 1968 I have been a Marine for over 50 years and have gone through this discussion countless times. You are never an ex-Marine. Instead of a lengthy discussion with non-Marines you inform them quickly and easily you are no longer serving in the Corps. Think of it as being kind to the less fortunate, you know, people who don't have the right to wear the EGA.
I served between the shit and tide in the Post Vietnam era. I am not a fan of Jimmy Carter, I was not alone in that sentiment during the Iran hostage crisis. Ronald Reagan brought back the the capability and respect.
I agree, I was in the Marine Corps 1973 to 1977. Marines have never and will never cut and run. Marines run to the fight. Semper Fi, from an old Marine Sgt.
MS thank you. I may be 63 yrs old, but put a rifle in front me, I still can hit the bulls eye. Being from West Virginia I had a small .22 rifle at 5 yes old (with control supervision from Dad). So Im ready to go if the Corps needs me, to "Run to Fight" Semper Fi
My Gentle Pitt Bull, "Marines have never and will never cut and run." That just isn't true. There is no other way to say it. One of the most important missions of the Marines is the evacuation, which is all about going in, getting someone out, and cut and running. The ability to break off and leave a situation is a key task of the Marines. Murtha is an honored veteran. You can disagree with his political policies, but when Republicans insult his patriotism, they are disgracing themselves.
That's because the Democrats lost control of the house and the senate. The thing I always see is that when the Democrats have control of all 3 houses and they go to work on their agenda, their party is always divided. I mean look how long it took them to pass their wonderful ObamaCare legislation, it took so long because they couldn't unite and agree on what to do. Obama promised it to get passed on the end of his first year, it took them 2 years. They keep crying about gun control, why couldn't they pass gun control? The list goes on about stuff they cry about and they don't get it passed because their party is always divided. However whenever the Republicans have control, they always seem to unite and get things done, and the Democrats are upset because the Republicans took away the House and Senate the Republicans are going forward with their own agenda.
+cassidy nova when the Republican party is in control, they fight against the Democratic president not allowing shit to get done. but if we had both parties at least attempting to work together, we would be a lot better off.
True. But also the Republican Senate, as soon as he was elected in 2008, outright stated that they would do everything in Their power to make sure his policy's would not pass. Then again i heard that from Fox... thoughts?
therant311 what we did over there was a righteous act, we didn't lose our brothers in vain. The question is was it worth it, or rather, is it our place to fix the world's problems.
You're right Murtha served his country as a Marine, unfortunately, as a politician, he served himself. The dedication, honor, commitment to country he once had as a Marine was long gone by the time he died.
I have had the privilege to serve with the Marines. There are no finer men and women from our country. They are intelligent, thoughful and compassion people who will kick the crap out of anyone who threatens our freedom. We need to be grateful everyday that we have our Marines, Navy, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard standing guard over us.
I am proud of country...but our problems come mainly from weak leaders. We were the greatest when this nation was guided by leaders who prayed to a sovereign God. Look at us now.....
Deezey scheel Idiot. People in the USA are not forced to become Christians. But as with any civilized society people are required to behave themselves. Too many in the USA think they have a right to welfare, food stamps and birth control...to include abortion. In order to have a free society we must have a people who act like adults who have morals and self control.
Looks like the TRUTH REALLY HURT THE COWARD DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE. The Blood will flow as high as a Horses Bridle for aproximately 1500 Stadia,,, As as Richard once said "OLD MEN WILL DIE ASHAMED IN THEIR BEDS , BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT HERE WITH US ON THIS DAY'
Mon El, the actual quote is from Henry V's famous St. Crispin's Day speech. "And men now abed in England shall think themselves accursed they were not here and hold their man hoods cheap whilst any speak who fought with us upon St. Crispins Day."
I fought there too over in Iraq and the truth is that the war was stupid as hell and we should've left earlier. That doesn't change that the lot of us stood ready for a proper war and we fought a dumb war with honor instead. The problem is everyone is entangling these two ideas together. You can admit Iraq was a disaster and still know everyone who went to fight it is great. Any sergeant or officer will tell you that a good leader knows when they're wrong and when to leave and that doing that doesn't make you a bad soldier. The problem is we like to pick a side of politics and pretend that side is always right. It's like a sports team except stupider and people die.
The quote, "Cowards cut and run, Marines never do" was made by a reservist administration (01) Marine to Congressman Murtha a combat decorated hero from two wars. Danny Bubp is the coward not Murtha. For an admin Marine Reservist to call a decorated combat Marine from two a coward is a disgrace. He is playing politics to sound tough. He is not. He is a disgrace to the Corp. To accentuate the point he did not even have the balls to stick by his statement, he said "I was miss quoted". God, what a disgraceful coward Danny Bubp is.
My father was a Marine Sgt. and I miss him every day since he passed in 2005 from pancreatic cancer. He was a real man, a man that I hope I can come close to in emulating. I loved and respected him because I admit I wouldn't ever have the balls to try and be a Marine. To those people who had the audacity to boo....in my fathers name and the name of all the heroes in the armed forces....Semper Fi motherfuckers!
He's winning for a reason , He may not be a polished politician and speaks off the but I have no doubt that he loves America . It certainly won't be business as usual and maybe that's what's needed .

I agree with you that his delivery of anything he says needs serious polishing and a little sensitivity .What are you afraid of with him ? The other choice is Hillary
SLYSPYHIWAY90 His hotel business has dropped 59% during his candidacy and the Trump Taj Mahal is closing down at the end of the month. Now, you were saying?
John Murtha, who is referred to so dismissively here is a former Marine, DI and was awarded the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts in Vietnam. Any gutless wonder on here disparaging him is walking on the fighting side of me. He earned the right to voice his opinion. Have you?
John Murtha has no honor - and that comes from real Marines - look it up. He's been denounced by a lot more Marines than endorsed for his heinous politically driven accusations. When he claimed that Marines in Iraq were guilty of "murder in cold blood" he did them and the Corps a tremendous disservice when they were, in fact, simply doing their duty as was later proven. And yes I earned the right to sound off on American military matters after having sailed the Arctic Ocean in the early 70's aboard an FBM submarine bristling with nuclear weapons - that was during the Cold War. We fought a tough fight that few will ever know about and won in the end and we had our differences - but to a man, sub sailors share a bond that is unbreakable. Few have seen and been where we have and I always thought the same of Marines - until Murtha that is.
@@2012enpassant I volunteered and served in Vietnam...so did Kerry. Even though Kery got smeared by political foes because he opposed the war after serving, the guys he crewed with said he was fearless and earned his medals. I take their word. What was your war?
Sen. John Murtha was a two war, retired, Marine combat veteran of Korea and Vietnam. He was a decorated with a Silver and Bronze Star as well as the Purple Heart. He had served as a drill instructor. He was a ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and had served the military and veterans unfailingly. But, after it was quite clear that the Bush Administration had LIED us into a war in Iraq, he changed course, did the right thing, and began to vote against Bush provisions. This right wing goof, this Jesus freak, warmonger, whose whole line of menfolk had never served in the military, called Murtha, a life serving Marine, wounded in combat, a coward. As a Marine myself, I was humiliated, embarrassed, and outraged. Fortunately, she didn't get another term.
+Victor Bozic Funny how no one questioned John Kerry's service in Vietnam until the swift boat a-holes, sponsored by jerome corsi, popped their heads up. Also funny that no one who served with Kerry questioned his medals, especially the senior officer who signed off on them, until the a-holes in 2004. Another funny was that none of their claims was ever proved to be true but I guess some dumbasses still believe in the tooth fairy
Maybe they handed out so many purple hearts and bronze stars because so many people deserved them? I guess all those pricks getting blown up and having their limbs severed aren't worthy of a purple heart, too many going around, gotta ration our medal stock.
Victor Bozic -- Hold up there Marine. Remington raiders got their name for using Remington typewriters as a clerk typist, MOS 0100. I have friends that were 0100 and to place Murthy into their group I consider to be an insult to their good names.
David Panzer -- there was ample testimony from sailors in his unit that backed up the accusations. Kerry was forced to return one purple heart that he lied about. Come on, he wrote the after action reports that got him his medals.
I'm a retired Australian serviceman, and I fervently wish the following. I wish that Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio, consider renouncing her American citizenship. (hear me out). I wish that she then IMMEDIATELY seek Australian citizenship. I wish she then runs for election as the Prime Minister of Australia. I guarantee that Her percentage of the vote would DEMOLISH all existing landslide votes in Australian history. NOT ONE Australian politician has her courage, not one.... If only....
This regarding the war pushed by Republicans, MOST of whom hadn't seen a lick of combat or even military service. Sen. McCain a noteworthy and respect-worthy exception.
HonRevPTB I know he was a prisoner of war, shot down over Vietnam. Gore VIdal has said that McCain had a habit of crashing planes, so that over Vietnam he could have been just incompetent. Still he went through all that POW experience, anyway.
And how many people has your illustrious president killed lately? As to McCain, yep, incontinent or incompetent but only involved in one crash, the shootdown. But Gore Vidal...now "there's" an expert.
Yep McCain is a traitor! He propagated the fire on the Forestal in '67 because he didn't dump his fuel or payload prior to landing on the carrier cuz he's an arrogant ass daddy's boy, which is so evident in his town hall meetings here on CZcams! His arms were not broken by the VC either, they were broke when he ejected improperly, yet again cuz "he knows best"! I despise Mccain & so did his fellow vets & prisoners!!! He just makes my skin crawl, & makes us conservatives sick!!!!!!!
You really are an imbecile. Military aircraft do not dump fuel, fucktard. Nor do they dump payload before coming aboard ships. They barely had 1.5 hours of fuel on take off then, you weasel fucking fuckwit. Besides, didn't you know...George Bush did it. Ted Kaczynski was right. The more technology people have access to the dumber they become. Thanks for proving him right.
Jean Schmidt is an inspiration! We should all follow her example. Bleeding hearts also cut and run. It is the quiet conservatives who must lend their voice to the voice of freedom which is once again taking root in the USA. It is time the rest of us to stand up to the gun grabbers, anti-choicers, and anyone else who seeks to trample upon our rights from any politically or religiously extreme corner of our society.
At my first assignment out of OCS there was a Chief who'd been my LPO when I was a 3rd Class Petty Officer. He started to come to attention and I told him to sit down. I then said "You and I both know I have no clue what I'm doing here, so you keep me out of trouble and I'll get you what you need to make things work." He smiled, we had a cup of coffee and talked about old times. That was a fun tour.
Marines are loyal no matter how stupid the government is. If Danny laid down his life he did it because he loved his country. Using that loyalty to justify the idiotic actions of our government is putting the cart before the horse. To do it in front of congress is evil because it uses one individuals sacrifice as justification to sacrifice others.
Getting out of a war that's not worth fighting isn't cowardly. It saves military lives and taxpayer dollars. Politicians don't fight these wars, anyway, so their bravery isn't in question one way or the other when it comes to war.
They most certainly smell better! The first WM in my mos was a gal named Hope. I ran into her 3 years later at a WTI exercise at MCAS Yuma.AZ. they needed help roustabouting CH-53 rotor blades. I reported to Hope and she recognized me, chatted and put me to work. She was a big strong farm gal from a Marine family. The family dimension is what makes the USMC. I used to like the song "Hotel California", you can check out, but never leave. That is the CORPS!
2 and withdrew them from the record. She is no longer even a member of the House, having lost in the GOP primary in 2012. Since neither member is still present in the House, this is rather a moot point.
First to fight, Trained to kill, ready to die but never will. Got that shit right, Marines don’t back down or run from any damn body!!! Curr dogs will run. But Devil Dogs will not run. “Semper Fi” from a combat disabled Marine. I don’t see nothing wrong with what the woman said.
I'M A 75 YEAR OLD 0311 MARINE THAT SERVED IN VIETNAM TWICE. WHEN I JUST TURNED 17 YEARS OLD IN A MARINE CORPS BOOT CAMP I WAS ISSUED A M1 GERAND RIFLE AND A K-BAR AND TOLD BUY THIS GUNNY "NEVER COME BACK WITH OUT THESE TWO WEAPONS!"
I served in the Corps for 26yrs am now retired even though Murtha was a Brother he was disresprectful of his former brothers and that is shameful to me, I think he thought more about politics than his Brothern Marine Corps and yes I live in Pennsylvania.
"The Afghan rebels were a loose coalition of Islamic fringe groups who were united by their interest in expelling the Soviets from Afghanistan" "They simply didn't want "their land" taken over by "infidels."-I believe that is exactly what a freedom fighter is!!!!!!!! They wanted freedom to govern themselves the way they see fit not under the thumb of a invading army.
I'd like to thank you for your service, I have always dreamed of serving my nation till I die since I was 5 years old never have I faltered once and looked into a different job and I lived my life around it, but now that I have come of age, I have also come about wisdom, and realize that joining the military won't serve my nation, it will serve the government rather, I felt cheated when I was told I couldn't join due to asthma that rarely affected me but now I feel saved, does it make sense?
Only cowards would be offended by this speech.
then I assume the limping COWARD of the US Vietnam era is offended?
Who exactly are you accusing of cowardice?
Remember your own deeds before pointing that oh so deadly finger.

Fact.
DEMONcrats ARE cowards! They should all have a fair trial, followed by a first class firing squad!! WINNING, WE ARE WINNING! GO TRUMP!
did you hear the cowards after she said that?
All the snowflakes began to melt...
That's because she had no problem sending other soldiers in harm's way but not herself.
Yup you will notice that politicians children are not in the infantry/Marines etc etc Very well said Eric.
They got exposed, like Rats from hiding.
I love how I go to Afghanistan and there are civilians in rooms like that, that make all the decisions including the one to send me and my brothers. And then they cower when we are the ones who see first hand what our efforts are. I've made so many Afghani friends and seen so many roads and schools built.

This right wing goof, this Jesus freak, warmonger, whose whole line of menfolk had never served in the military, called Murtha, a life serving Marine, wounded in combat, a coward. As a Marine myself, I was humiliated, embarrassed, and outraged. Fortunately, she didn't get another term.
+Victor Bozic Funny how no one questioned John Kerry's service in Vietnam until the swift boat a-holes, sponsored by jerome corsi, popped their heads up. Also funny that no one who served with Kerry questioned his medals, especially the senior officer who signed off on them, until the a-holes in 2004. Another funny was that none of their claims was ever proved to be true but I guess some dumbasses still believe in the tooth fairy
Maybe they handed out so many purple hearts and bronze stars because so many people deserved them? I guess all those pricks getting blown up and having their limbs severed aren't worthy of a purple heart, too many going around, gotta ration our medal stock.
Victor Bozic -- Hold up there Marine. Remington raiders got their name for using Remington typewriters as a clerk typist, MOS 0100. I have friends that were 0100 and to place Murthy into their group I consider to be an insult to their good names.
David Panzer -- there was ample testimony from sailors in his unit that backed up the accusations. Kerry was forced to return one purple heart that he lied about. Come on, he wrote the after action reports that got him his medals.
Wait...you're saying the tooth fairy isn't real?????
awwww republicans lieing agian
I'm a retired Australian serviceman, and I fervently wish the following.
I wish that Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio, consider renouncing her American citizenship.
(hear me out).
I wish that she then IMMEDIATELY seek Australian citizenship.
I wish she then runs for election as the Prime Minister of Australia.
I guarantee that Her percentage of the vote would DEMOLISH all existing landslide votes in Australian history.
NOT ONE Australian politician has her courage, not one....
If only....
Semper Fi!! Marines RUN towards the sounds of the guns!
USMC Retired.
Coward? Wow! If I remember correctly, Murtha served in Korea and then VOLUNTEERED to go to Vietnam. He had a lot more courage than Jean Schmidt.
This regarding the war pushed by Republicans, MOST of whom hadn't seen a lick of combat or even military service. Sen. McCain a noteworthy and respect-worthy exception.
You obviously know nothing about McCain! I strongly urge you do some research on him!!!
HonRevPTB
I know he was a prisoner of war, shot down over Vietnam. Gore VIdal has said that McCain had a habit of crashing planes, so that over Vietnam he could have been just incompetent. Still he went through all that POW experience, anyway.
And how many people has your illustrious president killed lately? As to McCain, yep, incontinent or incompetent but only involved in one crash, the shootdown. But Gore Vidal...now "there's" an expert.
Yep McCain is a traitor! He propagated the fire on the Forestal in '67 because he didn't dump his fuel or payload prior to landing on the carrier cuz he's an arrogant ass daddy's boy, which is so evident in his town hall meetings here on CZcams! His arms were not broken by the VC either, they were broke when he ejected improperly, yet again cuz "he knows best"! I despise Mccain & so did his fellow vets & prisoners!!! He just makes my skin crawl, & makes us conservatives sick!!!!!!!
You really are an imbecile. Military aircraft do not dump fuel, fucktard. Nor do they dump payload before coming aboard ships. They barely had 1.5 hours of fuel on take off then, you weasel fucking fuckwit.
Besides, didn't you know...George Bush did it. Ted Kaczynski was right. The more technology people have access to the dumber they become. Thanks for proving him right.
Love you, Jean. Thank you!
The house will be in order my ass!
Jean Schmidt is an inspiration! We should all follow her example. Bleeding hearts also cut and run. It is the quiet conservatives who must lend their voice to the voice of freedom which is once again taking root in the USA. It is time the rest of us to stand up to the gun grabbers, anti-choicers, and anyone else who seeks to trample upon our rights from any politically or religiously extreme corner of our society.
Marines aren't stupid. They are cautious and take cover like other soldiers. They should not risk their lives with corpses. Wounded of course.
the lady speaks the truth cowards run but soldiers pay the price
Thanks for your very educated response!!!!!!!!!
I love she speaks the truth, Marines FOREVER!
she just called every Dummycrat a coward. they are. good job....
At my first assignment out of OCS there was a Chief who'd been my LPO when I was a 3rd Class Petty Officer. He started to come to attention and I told him to sit down. I then said "You and I both know I have no clue what I'm doing here, so you keep me out of trouble and I'll get you what you need to make things work." He smiled, we had a cup of coffee and talked about old times. That was a fun tour.
STAY THE COURSE!! God Bless Our Military
Retired US Navy-Everything she says is correct.
Marines are loyal no matter how stupid the government is. If Danny laid down his life he did it because he loved his country. Using that loyalty to justify the idiotic actions of our government is putting the cart before the horse. To do it in front of congress is evil because it uses one individuals sacrifice as justification to sacrifice others.
Inappropriate words, my ass! That lady is right, and it's people like her that gives us younger people the right and will to fight.
WELL DONE TO THIS TRUE PATRIOT.
She shouldn't be the only one that makes you ashamed to be a Republican.
Oh My. As a lifelong Dem, I highly applaud her words. 'Tis true, from Mexico to Algeria, to Japan, to the Middle East, US Marines never run.
+Edward Sienicki shes a Republican it said R-Ohio which means a Republican from Ohio
Hahahaha! Way to go! Too bad more people don't call it for what it's worth. I bet that disgrace Murtha vapor-locked over that.
Republican woman with balls...telling it like it is. TRUMP 2020
Getting out of a war that's not worth fighting isn't cowardly. It saves military lives and taxpayer dollars. Politicians don't fight these wars, anyway, so their bravery isn't in question one way or the other when it comes to war.
Semper Fi Rep. Jean Schmidt!!!!
"And we count our money because we're smart enough not to spend it stupidly." Haha, brilliant response.
They most certainly smell better! The first WM in my mos was a gal named Hope. I ran into her 3 years later at a WTI exercise at MCAS Yuma.AZ. they needed help roustabouting CH-53 rotor blades. I reported to Hope and she recognized me, chatted and put me to work. She was a big strong farm gal from a Marine family. The family dimension is what makes the USMC. I used to like the song "Hotel California", you can check out, but never leave. That is the CORPS!
I love this country!
Politicians cut and run... Marines, Soldiers, Airmen, and Sailors never do.
2 and withdrew them from the record. She is no longer even a member of the House, having lost in the GOP primary in 2012.
Since neither member is still present in the House, this is rather a moot point.
First to fight, Trained to kill, ready to die but never will. Got that shit right, Marines don’t back down or run from any damn body!!! Curr dogs will run. But Devil Dogs will not run. “Semper Fi” from a combat disabled Marine. I don’t see nothing wrong with what the woman said.
She was called a chicken hawk by people from everywhere, even people in her own district.
Preach sister preach. Listen to the babies who can't take getting called out. Damn this was awesome
Hear the outrage from the truth being spoken. Cowards cut and run Marines never do.
Thank God for the Marines, if it wasn't for those brave guys, we'd all be forced to speak German or Japanese today! God Bless Them!!!
I'M A 75 YEAR OLD 0311 MARINE THAT SERVED IN VIETNAM TWICE. WHEN I JUST TURNED 17 YEARS OLD IN A MARINE CORPS BOOT CAMP I WAS ISSUED A M1 GERAND RIFLE AND A K-BAR AND TOLD BUY THIS GUNNY "NEVER COME BACK WITH OUT THESE TWO WEAPONS!"
And never leave anyone behind.
bless you all to who serve!!
I served in the Corps for 26yrs am now retired even though Murtha was a Brother he was disresprectful of his former brothers and that is shameful to me, I think he thought more about politics than his Brothern Marine Corps and yes I live in Pennsylvania.
"The Afghan rebels were a loose coalition of Islamic fringe groups who were united by their interest in expelling the Soviets from Afghanistan" "They simply didn't want "their land" taken over by "infidels."-I believe that is exactly what a freedom fighter is!!!!!!!! They wanted freedom to govern themselves the way they see fit not under the thumb of a invading army.
She was transmitting a message from a real Marine.
I love her speech.... She's my HERO. CAPTAIN T, U.S.M.C.
"boo hoo... she said mean words about us".. imagine what General Mattis would have said
I'd like to thank you for your service, I have always dreamed of serving my nation till I die since I was 5 years old never have I faltered once and looked into a different job and I lived my life around it, but now that I have come of age, I have also come about wisdom, and realize that joining the military won't serve my nation, it will serve the government rather, I felt cheated when I was told I couldn't join due to asthma that rarely affected me but now I feel saved, does it make sense?
