Yes. Not only a disgrace to the corps, but a disgrace to congress, and the United States.

First off, your average Marine in combat probably makes more difficult decisions in a single day that Watzzzup will probably make in a lifetime. Second, as a retired Marine myself, I think Murtha is an absolute disgrace to the Corps and the country. If there was a way to strip him of the title I would.

John Murtha is a disgrace to the human race. He should be tried for treason.

Let's take a look from both perspectives to be fair: Let's look at one definition of cowardice and then we will look at another definition of Patriotism. First, cowardice, note ironic definition:
"COWARDICE, n. A charge often levelled by all-American types against those who stand up for their beliefs by refusing to fight in wars they find unconscionable, and who willingly go to prison or into exile in order to avoid violating their own consciences. These 'cowards' are to be contrasted with red-blooded, 'patriotic' youths who literally bend over, grab their ankles, submit to the government, fight in wars they do not understand (or disapprove of), and blindly obey orders to maim and to kill simply because they are ordered to do so—all to the howling approval of the all-American mob. This type of behavior is commonly termed 'courageous.'"
—Chaz Bufe, The Devil's Dictionaries ("American Heretic's Dictionary" section)
Now let's look at another definition describing War:
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
Depending on if you think this current war is just or unjust, then you will form your opinion.

Yes. All he has done is shown a great lack of good judgement.
