Tell the US Navy you don't want John Murtha honored with a ship named after him.

I have been reading every single story you all share about the history of the Haditha incident and the way those words still hurt the Corps today. It is clear that this naming decision is a slap in the face to the Marines who served with honor. I am currently compiling your comments to send directly to the Navy oversight office so they cannot ignore the weight of your frustration.

The momentum behind this effort is growing and it honestly speaks to how many of you refuse to let the betrayal of our Marines go unacknowledged. Seeing this response makes me realize that we are truly striking a chord for those who were wrongly accused by a man who should have been defending them.

He betrayed the Corps with those comments. No ship should bear his name. Simple as that.
Ridiculous decision. Why would you name a warship after a guy who threw his own people under the bus.
This is a slap in the face to every Marine serving today. Find someone else to name it after.
My husband served and he is furious about this. Pick someone who actually supported his brothers.
UNACCEPTABLE. The navy needs to get its head straight and respect the people who actually fought.

Completely agree. He shouldnt be honored like this after what he said about our troops.
