I read his novel, “Fields of Fire’ about a Marine LT with the grunts in the Arizona Territory, a really bad AO SW of DaNang.Damn good book. Webb knew that AO well from personal experience.
I dont like all his political views but he has my respect as a combat vet who was in the deep slit. Dont know where you get that gay, Vietnamese Porn novel stuff from.
For those unfamiliar with his book, Fields of Fire, check out these reviews of his book from other Viet Nam Vets on Amazon:

As I said before you dont have to agree with all his political views. And I dont. But the man walked the walk in one of the worst AOs in Viet Nam as a Plt leader with Charlie Co, Ist Batallion, 5th Marines. Unlike Hanoi John Kerry who was a lying glory hound and “unfit to command” after spending only 3 months in country.
You don’t get it huh? Do your own research lonny.
