Duke Cunningham was an almost superhuman combat pilot and hero. He was also a crook of the lowest order.

Agreed.

James Webb was a combat hero.

Agreed.

He is also a deranged sexual pervert.

If that is based solely on the passage quoted in Post 118, I do not see how that follows.

I have one James Webb novel that I found in paperback at a garage sale which I have not read yet. If it contains passages about what servicemembers see in Third World countries, I am sure that they can be quite shocking at times.

I read half of two of the books in question last night, and they are packed full of bizarre and just disgusting sexual references, usually for no story-telling reason. They are just there. Something is not quite right with Mr Webb's brain. It is nice that he is a combat hero, but so was Ehud Barak, even though he later almost gave half of Israel (and Jerusalem) away. So was Duke, and he was a pathetic crook. It means nothing. We must look at the man now, not back in combat.
