Will Some General Officer Speak Out

Posted By Blackfive

Personally, I've been waiting for LTG Mattis to say something...

Retired Marine Officer Steve Clayton sends this plea out via Seamus to find some General with the cojones to say something to the Murthas:

To the senior Marines, active and retired, within Col Morris's reach,

Will no Marine General Officer or former Marine/former flag rank of whatever service stand publicly against John Murtha as he bolsters the resolve of the enemies of our hard charging Marines?  Will no one of stature step to a microphone and call John Murtha out as the worthless dogS&it he is for the damaging rants he makes day after day after day?!  I could scream from the highest mountain and no one would care.  I'm nobody: just a broke-dick LDO Captain.  I'm begging a recognizable voice to shout as loud and long as possible, "COL MURTHA, STOP TRYING TO KILL OUR MARINES!"

Is there anyone out there with the intestinal fortitude to do what we all know should be done?  We need a counterbalance to this worthless piece of excrement, not for ourselves but for those Marines who this day are in harms way.  For the reputation of our institution and for our brotherhood of Marines.  I have a son who will be deploying in the coming months and another son trying to join the Marines.  Is the best I can hope for is luck on their part?  I do not fear their deaths during a noble cause.  I pray otherwise but I understand their risks and support both of them in their endeavors as Marine and hopefully Marine to be.  I do, however, fear that their deaths be caused by sedition at home and I grow angry knowing that the very sedition I fear is from one of our own.  Will no one do what should be done while there's still time?  I always looked up to my Generals to do what they knew was right for the security of our men and women and the accomplishment of the mission.  Now.... now is one of those times.  Who will step forward?

And for those who've been wondering, this email is not unique amongst the Marine email and internet chatter that's been going on for the last few weeks.
