Jack Murtha Naval Shipyard? February 28 2010
From Kevin Kelly’s facebook page:
Local Democrat politicians this week will propose naming the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard after deceased politician John Murtha. This is the same man who called our Marines in Iraq “murderers” in 2006. I am calling on every military member I know to vocally and directly oppose the renaming of the PNS after a man who publicly tried and convicted our brave Marines prior to any official investigation. Jack Murtha was wrong about our Marines as it turns out, and was also named as a non-indicted co-conspirator in the ABSCAM investigations into public official corruption. These are not the actions and track record of man who should be honored in this way.
I’m really getting aggravated at this political fetish to name things after fellow politicians. At least this time, the proposal has the good sense to wait until Mr Murtha has died.
That being said, why isn’t “Philadelphia Naval Shipyard” good enough?
Politicians aren’t secular saints.
