But then comes the student who heckles the President of the college (former Senator Bob Kerrey, a fellow Vietnam vet with a prosthetic leg to show for it) and calls him a "war criminal"... I repeat: a "<strong>war criminal</strong>." That is beyond rude. It is despicable. If I were a Vietnam vet - heck, a vet of any war - hearing all of that and were a prospective employer of these grads to boot, I would remember the school and the class. Any resume that would come into my desk from any grad from that school this year would take the fastest trip to the shredder of any document. If those grads have shown is that they're rude, crude and immature. I cannot personally accept that kind of childishness.

The guy is from deer-hunter (the movie) country and is one of hte top recipients of military contractor money. I don't think he much cares for adulation from the anti-war left. I suspect that what he is doing is serving as a mouthpiece for people who are his contacts in the military-industrial complex. But I don't think that's very effective. But ego driven doesn't make sense. This is not something that will help him get elected. Not in his district. “Ah yes, undoubtedly true andrew, but the other avenues wouldn’t give him the huge ego stroke that appearing on the TV news, garnering the adulation of the anti-war left, would.”

If you go back to Murtha's statements from the beginning, you see that one of the things that really bothered him, and which I think is the main reason he's doing this, is that he felt that Bush didn't pay enough attention to him, he never got an invitation to the White House to talk about the war or military issues, as he apparently did in previous administrations. Ego driven politics, and the safety and welfare of the troops be damned.
