Interesting comments and he certainly has a right to speak his mind. Of course, he's forgetting that the right to free speach, while guaranteed in the Constitution, is protected by the very men and women he so obviously hates.
And he should at least get his historical facts right:
From G. Washington to the Continental Congress, September 24, 1776
"The Jealousies of a standing Army, and the Evils to be apprehended from one, are remote; and in my judgment, situated and circumstanced as we are, not at all to be dreaded; but the consequence of wanting one, according to my Ideas, formed from the present view of things, is certain, and inevitable Ruin; for if I was called upon to declare upon Oath, whether the Militia have been most serviceable or hurtful upon the whole; I should subscribe to the latter."
So when Murphy speaks of Washington being against a standing army, he is very wrong.
