Not Ranked
From the Millitary.com website:
The Veterans of Foreign Wars office in Washington referred Military.com to a May 2009 statement in which it defended Murtha, and said the sentiment still holds.
The congressman is certainly known to make foot-in-mouth statements, but he is also a strong advocate for veterans, servicemembers and their families, which helps explain why his constituents have elected him to Congress 19 times," said Glen M. Gardner Jr., then commander in chief of the VFW.
John Rowan, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America, said he never paid much attention to the controversy stemming from Murtha’s comments about Haditha.
“He was a supporter of veterans. That’s all I can tell you. The bottom line is that he was an honorable veteran. He served his country well,” Rowan said.

I was never in any branch of the military so I'm not gonna start a fight against the veterans here. This is merely pointing out that the man did have his supporters amongst the ranks and I'm merely overing a counter point to what has been posted as well as condolences.
When we go under the microscope who here is really a saint?
