James Webb vs. George Allen
Something's very wrong. Are you telling me that James Webb, of Scots-Irish stock (my people), author of Fields of Fire, a marine front-line LT in Viet Nam in the An-Hoa, graduate of Annapolis, who fought and lost a controversial boxing match to Ollie North, who was awarded the Navy Cross,[1] the second-highest award in the Navy; the Silver Star Medal; two Bronze Star Medals; and two Purple Hearts, who as a law student at Georgetown started a six-year pro bono representation of a Marine who had been convicted of war crimes in Vietnam (finally clearing the man's name in 1978, three years after his suicide), who served as one of Ronald Reagan's Secretaries of the Navy, and resigned that post because he refused to preside over any reduction in the size of the Navy--that guy is running for the Senate seat in Virginia presently held by George Allan and Webb is running as a Democrat?
What the...?
What's happened here?
