Sgt. Mark Seavey confronts Democrat Reps. Jim Moran and John Murtha at a town hall meeting in Arlington, Va., earlier this week.

The highlight is when he says, "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."

Powerline reports on what happened next:

Confusing himself with the host of Jeopardy, Moran responded: "That wasn't in the form of a question, it was in the form of a statement." Perhaps Moran can find his true calling as a game show host.

I realize that some of my readers really don't like the tone of the bloggers who report this kind of thing, but then who else does report it?

As an aside, I think that Murhta's comments that he would not join the military today are incredibly hurtful to the troops. Since the "news" that the administration is fighting an unjust/immoral/unnecessary/incompentently managed war is about 3 years old now, to believe what Murtha does you have to assume that the troops that are serving now volunteered because they are stupid, desperate, or amoral themselves.
