You are wrong. Fixing radios was his job in the AF. Reminding him that is
*NOT* trivializing his service.

I have said that in another post.

No joking? Wow! Imagine that!

Fixing radios doesn't save lives.

So, that makes it okay?

Yeah... yeah...

 RC> Murtha tries to liken himself to being a Sgt York.

And he only served in *one* war, contrary to Klahn's silly claim. He served
in Vietnam from 1966-1967.

 RC> The try to liken Kerry to being a Pappy Boyington.

The CIA gave him a hat!

It doesn't.
