The Navy says it is forging ahead with its decision to name a warship for the late Rep. John Murtha, despite protests the decorated Vietnam War veteran was disloyal in his 2006 accusation that Marines had murdered Iraqi civilians.
I'm dumbfounded that we would do this to the sailors and Marines who will have to bear the shame of that name. The Navy should be ashamed of itself.
Anger away? I think not. This decision will sting for decades to come.
