Just saw Marcus Luttrell on Bill O’Reilly, talking about his fellow SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient, LT Michael Murphy. O’Reilly asked him to tell us about LT Murphy’s character, what set him apart. Set him apart even from those who are in a different league altogether.
“He didn’t have any quit in him,” came the reply.
About a year from now we’ll select our next President, a whole new House of Representatives and a good number of Senators. Are we going to vote for quitters or for fighters?
If you need some guidance, remember LT Murphy and his men– no quit in them.
What can you say….the Army had Audie Murphy, the Seals have Michael Murphy…..there are some guys that just don’t breath the same air I do……
shit, after reading my comment I realized what I said and NO, I wasn’t being a smart ass…WOW, that came out awkward, I think people know what I mean I hope…
Don’t worry I got what you meant. I saw them on t.v. and cried a little for a brave person who should have lived to old age. Thanks for people like him.
Spread the word…spread it far. LtCol P raises a fantastic point. The election is far more than just the chief executive. Fighters, with a solid set of principles, are the ones who founded the country. We need more in our elected offices.
p.s. OldTanker – you came through Lima Charlie
I highly recommend Marcus’s book. Helluva read. Unreal what that 4-man team went through.
