Ace of Spades has pretty much my take on his passing.

    An Officer/Gentleman, Wheeler/Dealer and one who was in some trenches, not all mouth that roars, nor a striker preemptive, take his seat, hope your ass splinters….

    Murtha left the Marines in 1955. He remained in the Reserves after his discharge from active duty until he volunteered for service in the Vietnam War, serving from 1966 to 1967, serving as a battalion staff officer (S-2 Intelligence Section), receiving the Bronze Star with Valor device, two Purple Hearts and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry. He retired from the Marine Corps Reserve as a Colonel in 1990, receiving the Navy Distinguished Service Medal.

    He lied about various aspects of our involvement in Iraq because at some point over the years he developed some kind of problem with American exceptionalism.

    Well, thank the good God he’s dead then. Perhaps we can avoid the same fate.
