[Jonah Johansen]

I think people here would be surprised by this but
Webb wrote a long article,several years ago, in which he spoke bitterly about the betrayal and despicable behavior of the antiwar movement. The opinions he expressed in this article about Viet Nam were 180 degrees removed from John Kerry's.
He was particularly disgusted with the behavior of Hollywood antiwar liberals.
Webb has done a lot of things in the last few years to make me dislike him, but either he has changed a core belief or he is a bit more complex a person.

Good point — I was thinking of Webb in this context, too. I don’t know how he reconciles views he expressed over the past couple of decades with trying to respect his current Democrat colleagues in the Senate, but the Jim Webb of these articles would be a lot more closely aligned with John McCain than with the Quisling Jon Carry:
