Don’t know much about his politics, but he’s a Vietnam War, Marine combat vet, Navy Cross recipient. A tough SOB.

He would be a great Secrectary of Defense-or State.

I really hope he's being looked at for the latter, if the other names circulating are up for consideration.

IIRC, Webb was the only dem candidate that openly spoke up for the 2nd Amendment and the right of the people to self defense.

I would not be surprised if Trump appoints him Secretary of the Navy.

Was he not Sec of the Navy under Reagan for a while?

Yes. He and John Lehman.

James Webb was a Republican back then.

Wow, Mr Webb nailed it.

Outstanding Secretary of State, he would be, in my own humble...

There's things I like about Webb, but he sold out when he backed Obamacare.

He got it right on Iraq, though.
