  • I guess that Mr. Webb is a hero like John Kerry. The only heroes in war are the ones that died. Let's just stick too real facts when making voting decisions. I'm a Vietnam veteran too but I don't think that has alot to to about anything except that I served like million others. Neither Allen or Webb will make a difference anyway because it's money that talks.

  • Only idiots don't understand the importance of knowing politics. Moron.

  • If Allen can't deal with the realities Webb witnessed while serving in Vietnam, then Allen's lived too sheltered an existence.

  • It would be awesome if Webb wins. I'd much rather have a decorated fighter than racist chickenhawk George Allen.

  • Vote Webb... Vote for Change.

  • how old r u like 12?

  • "... the characters in Webb's novel are timeless. He succeeds brilliantly in making them real. Webb creates a doctrine of combat leadership and a creed for the succeeding generation on how and why Marines fight."

  • Fields of Fire is currently listed on the USMC Professional Reading Program. Here's what the USMC says: "The novel is about the reality of war that Marines must come to grips with... Fields of Fire is the story of the young, enlisted Marines who fought under then Lieutenant Webb. ... Their social backgrounds vary, and many of our best warriors came from the lowliest of stations. In terms of the brotherhood of those who bleed together and the nobility of sacrifices made for friends..."

  • Mr. Webb countered he opened up more billets to women than anyone. The truth is that webb was informed (by mccain, williams, ect) that legislation forcing the Navy to open more billets to women would be forthcoming if the action was not taken independently. Webb simply yielding to congressional pressure. Have you guys looked up his book exerpts about incest / pedophilia. How bout his anti woman record?

  • He's not a pervert for having witnessed behavior while serving in the military. He's not a pervert for reporting in his novels some of the more sensational things he witnessed. What's perverted is to take these comments out of the context of the novels in which they were written and urge Matt Drudge to post them, as the Allen campaign did.
