"THE TRUTH"

BY: FOREST LEWIS, Ph.D.

I had a Top Sergeant once tell me this story. Old Master-Sergeant Fingers worked for this Commanding Officer who didn't cut any Marine a break.

Top Sergeant told me that the "Old Man" would utter the line, "Bring In The Guilty Bastard," whenever a Marine appeared before him on charges of malfeasance.

Eight Marines have been charged with the deaths of 24 Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha last year. I find myself asking, why have a trial? These men are guilty as "HELL".  Why, just ask that venerable "war hero," Congressman John Murtha. It was Murtha who held a news conference and all but convicted these men long before they were charged.

Murtha knew what he was doing was wrong, but yet this old windbag couldn't help himself. He had to tell the world what a creep he was. Imagine, this poor excuse for a former Marine, selling out another Marine, just to make "Brownie Points With The Socialist News Media". Murtha showed me that he has no shame. He also showed me that he has no concept of the term, "Esprit De Corps".

Young Marines learn the meaning of this term in their training either at Parris Island, or in boot camp in California. Esprit De Corps means, that a group of men share a commonality or universality in terms of mindset, relative to unity, and responsibility.

Even most common criminals live by a code, "Don't Snitch On Another Criminal". How is it that murderers and thiefs can live by such a despicable code, but a loud mouth like Murtha can't keep his "Trap Shut?" At least until these fine Marines receive a "FAIR TRIAL?"

What John Murtha has done has poisoned the well of justice. There is no way that these Marines can receive a fair trial. They can thank a "Rat Congressman" known as John Murtha.

There are some writers who do not believe in using ad hominems in describing people like Murtha. They would rather use saccharin terms, and hope that they do not offend their readers. People like this "Need To Be Liked". However, I fear they have forgotten that it is not always the erudites who read their columns. It is the common man who also click on to their website. The common man speak in colloquial terms. Not in a highbrowed style.

Faked scribes are in some ways like John Murtha: I would not trust them as far as I could throw them. Why? Because they are afraid to reveal who they really are. So, they hide behind euphemistic, glowing words.

I have to look at myself in the mirror each morning. Therefore, I must be true to myself; and to those of you who are kind enough to read my column each day. I know that John Murtha is a louse. And so do millions of Marines, active duty and retired.

So, the stage is set to convict these real "War Heroes". Four of the Marines are elisted men; and they are accused of un-premeditated murder. The other four "War Heroes" are officers who were not at Haditha at the time of the alleged murders. However, they are charged with improperly investigating and reporting the deaths.

Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, a 26 year old squad leader at the time, is alleged to have gunned down 12 civilians; and ordering his men to kill six more civilians as they cleared a house.

Lt. Colonel Jeffrey Chessani is the highest ranking defendant. Colonel Chessani is charged with dereliction of duty.

The Associated Press, a long time friend of the insurgents made this mind boggling assertion:

"Military officials wouldn't say what they think led to the killings. But investigators have raised the possibility that the men went on a rampage after a roadside bomb killed Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas of El Paso, texas, and wounded two other Marines"

Please read the first line of the A-P quote again. Do you see the word "Alleged?" Nor did I. The A-P like Murtha has convicted the Marines. While these "Real War Heroes" risk their lives for the miscreants at the A-P and other so-called news outlets, these cowards show their appreciation by siding with the enemy. These people simply have "No Shame".

Terrazas father had harsh words for the "Vultures Flying Over The Marines". First,  Mr. Martin Terrazas stated that the insurgents killed his son. Next, he opined, " What they are doing to our troops...it's just wrong. I feel for their families. They are in my prayers"

Amen Mr. Terrazas. The Marines are in my prayers as well.

America, you would do well to pray for these young Marines too. Remember, they didn't have to join the military. They did so for love of country. Trust me, it is not a day at a picnic being a Marine. It is the toughest thing that a man will ever do.

If you think the "Linquine Spine People" in the media will pick up a rifle to defend America, you have another thought coming. These gutless wonders would kiss Osama Bin Laden backside, if their sorry lives were on the line.

They are good at telling the world how bad our military is; and how bad America is. 

For people like John Murtha and the A-P, there is a thing called "Karma".

Remember that!!!
