Honored with Public Service Award, bloggers erupt in outrage
The U.S. Navy has awarded U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., its Distinguished Public Service Award, immediately triggering an Internet campaign to have Navy Secretary Donald C. Winter withdraw it.
The online petition that appeared almost immediately already has collected more than 7,085 signatures.
It was set up by Gabe Ledeen, of VetsForFreedom.org.
"John Murtha deserves no such award. He has routinely and deliberately undermined the United States military, slandered servicemen serving in combat, and caused irreparable damage to our international reputation," the petition says. |

This is soo wrong...
How do these type of awards usually come about?
Originate from the Navy Dept, or nominated by someone else, ie congress, admin, .etc?

Murtha, like sKerry, are among the least deserving of receipt of any award from any Department of our Military today.
It is a total disgrace that the Department of the Navy awarded him this, after his degrading comments about our Troops the past few years.

I don't know this for a fact, but I suspect that this was a deal originated in SecNav's office.
Guess what!......He is a political appointee. Its all politics.

Just when you think it can't get any worse......it does.
I sure hope this can be undone.
