John P Murtha. A Marine Officer in 'Nam. House Rep (D) from Johnstown, PA. Ramrod straight, took no shit. Chaired the House subcommittee on Appropriations.
Was a target videoed in the Abscam sting. Was only one who played straight. In 2006 when Dems won the House ran for House Majority Leader. Here's where it got interesting. He was supported by new Speaker, Nancy Pelosi but lost to Steny Hoyer.
Went back to being chair of the subcommittee doing what he always did, speak TRUTH and fight for his constituents and for what is right. Went into hospital for a routine gall bladder operation in late Jan. 2010. Went back to work.
Two days later he fell sick, went to hospital and died a week later of surgery infection. Today, if alive, John P. Murtha would be a Republican, on the Trump Train and kicking ASS.
Anon knows. Anons know. Marines know.
