Perhaps if you had purchased Webb’s books and at least read about these types of atrocities, you would not have been so gung ho about blindly following the misguided and malfeasant actions of another man who did not witness firsthand the ugliness of war, George W. Bush.

Webb you are an A$$!!

This creep deserves the Mikhail Baryshnikov Award for Spin.

He takes the scandal surrounding the literary pervert, Webb, and twirls it into a paean of praise and chutzpah about Webb's military record.

Gotta hand it to this hysterical loser.......he tried.

Won't work, pal. You should have gone to the ballet instead of sitting up all night writing this piece of desperation.

George Allen: You Have Not Earned the Right to Question Jim Webb’s Recollections of War – So Just Shut Up...

The last I heard, Allen was not questioning any of Webb's recollections of war. He was just pointing out quotations in his books.

Why isn't that permissible?

Allen is a U.S. citizen, I think that gives him the right to question anyones recollection who makes accusations about him.

Good Day, Sir!

Jim Webb should be arrested for child porn.

It's called the right of free speech, which Americans are born with. You don't have to earn it, and no one has the right to tell you that you have to earn it. So the writers of this junk have their right to free speech, and Allen has his.

I beg your indulgence--I didn't major in history.

When were we at war with Thailand? (That is where Webb says he witnessed that father-son "cultural thing" that he wrote about, isn't it?)

I've known a huge number of Vietnam Vets and never heard them say their experience was like this, or that they now had a right not to write garbage and go uncriticized if the work is offensive. Pornographers contribute to Webb. That says it all. Sen Dodd wouldn't let Imus read the offensive parts from novels. That says it all. The Webb people want to censor from the public what he profited from so that he doesn't offend the Virginia electorate and so he'll get elected. He should be proud of his "art," but obviously, he isn't. That says it all.

This Allen play has really done some political damage to Web and that is why they are going ballistic. It is a winner for Allen. We finally came out with our own October surprise. I love it.

Team Webb: Perhaps if you had vetted Webb's books,...

Fields of Fire, which has been called the classic novel of the Vietnam War and was for years required reading on college campuses nationwide in classes relating to the illumination of war

In other words, a manual for Communist indoctrination on American campuses. Webb's socialism is far more disturbing than his glorification of perversion.

That said, the shrill indignation of the left on this so-called 'hit-piece' after literally MONTHS of front-page macaca-itis is laughable to the point of incredulity. This is pot meeting kettle, at 300 mph.

You don’t think this is happening in Iraq



Nope, not in any levels worth talking about. We are barely interacting with the locals (at least when I was there).

So as a Veteran it's okay to write perverted passages? I've seen some of the things he's wrote about (Not the penis thing) overseas. I would not put it in a book or in any other medium for that matter.

It's on the Commandant of the Marine Corps reading list for Privates, Privates First Class and Lance Corporals.

I'm going to email the SgtMajor of the Marine Corps and ask that it be removed, We can educact the young troops without this trash.

You forgot to include the barf alert.

That being said, it's fun to watch Webb and his minions struggle to clean off the fan.

Does he think George Will and John McCain are going to impress Virginians? And if those two Bush Administration critics say Webb's creepy books are okay, then Virginians must accept them...does he really believe that too?
