John Murtha (Democrat Congressman from Pennsylvania, and decorated Vietnam Veteran) responding to Vice- president Dick Cheney’s claims that those who question the presence of US troops in Iraq are unpatriotic. The “five deferments” comment refers to the fact that Vice-president Cheney received 5 deferments during the Vietnam War which allowed him to stay at home in the United States while others were required to fight.
