Iraq - Soldier Exposes Murtha and Moran

Michelle has two posts, here and here, that exposes the hypocrisy of the Democrats.

The first link is a video of Sgt. Mark Seavey confonting both Murtha and Moran over their bogus assertion about the state of our military.

The second link is a transcript of the exchange.

"Yes sir my name is Mark Seavey and I just want to thank you for coming up here. Until about a month ago I was Sgt Mark Seavey infantry squad leader, I returned from Afghanistan. My question to you, (applause)
"Like yourself I dropped out of college two years ago to volunteer to go to Afghanistan, and I went and I came back. If I didn't have a herniated disk now I would volunteer to go to Iraq in a second with my troops, three of which have already volunteered to go to Iraq. I keep hearing you say how you talk to the troops and the troops are demoralized, and I really resent that characterization. (applause) The morale of the troops that I talk to is phenomenal, which is why my troops are volunteering to go back, despite the hardships they had to endure in Afghanistan.

"And Congressman Moran, 200 of your constituents just returned from Afghanistan. We never got a letter from you; we never got a visit from you. You didn't come to our homecoming. The only thing we got from any of our elected officials was one letter from the governor of this state thanking us for our service in Iraq, when we were in Afghanistan. That's reprehensible. I don't know who you two are talking to but the morale of the troops is very high."

Moran - who is one of the few congressmen supporting [Democrat] Charlie Rangel's call to restore the draft - responded quickly: "That wasn't in the form of a question, it was in the form of a statement. But, uhh... let's go over here." And he took the next question.

Typical cut and run Democrats. This was a soldier who had just returned from Afghanistan and Moran ignored him.

Here's a question for these two bozos. If troop morale is so low in Iraq, why are they re-enlisting at record rates and exceeding quotas?

Sgt Seavey emailed Michelle:

I was so upset, you wouldn't believe it. I speak to large audiences regularly, but never such a hostile one, and never when I am so upset, so I was really nervous about how I came off.

You were outstanding Sgt. and I salute you!
