See what I mean? You call yourselves "conservative" yet you tar all veterans with the likes of those you cite - why? because you yourselves didn't have the sand that it took to really involve everything you had for the country you claim to love. Your first counter to the question "what was your service for your country during wartime?" is answered with an attack against all veterans.
Jim Webb was a member of my generation who really risked everything and proved himself in spades. Not by playing football when all of the men of his generation were fighting and many dying, not by typing tripe on keyboards - but losing his own blood in our service.
Noncombatants that hurl insults against heroes like Jim Webb are beneath contempt.
Not at all. And you've entirely missed my point.
I have not called Webb a traitor. Nor has Senator Allen.
Webb can have all the opinions he wants. But he's wrong. Dead wrong.
And he's wrong for Virginia.
There you go again, with the strawman arguments. Nobody's attacking Webb's heroism or military service.
Perhaps you should read Soldier of Fortune magazines or watch A-Team reruns or something.
