He made his errors and had a very interesting career including I remember commanding an infantry battalion in WWI. Journalist in South Africa during the Boer War. Closely associated with the British Navy Working vocabulary of some 10,000 words and used to engage in shakespeare quoting contests until they found out he was making them up on the spot. Used sit on park benches with his friends and grade the girls passing by with "Is this the face that could launch a thousand ships?" Then the grade two rowboats on up to a fleet battleship. Winston Churchills Toyshop developed most of the devices used in clandestine efforts up until recent years. A man of many, varied, interests and a superb intellect.

Not really I generally put USMC above US Army Infantry (airborne all the way) and other such related units.) That's twice though in a few weeks I've seen or heard of a former Marine in this position the other dude was sporting a Bernie sticker. I regret losing any one of that statures lives and the 18 to 1 death ratio of US Service personnel in wars started and then lost by a Democrat as compared to a Republican (which is the only difference between the two that mattered or matters to me - makes me wonder. Too damn many good people in the Corps and in my own units (101st, 5th Group) died for not much to nothing.

As for his stances any number of the others would keep me from voting for him. It's a far far too left wing stance for my taste and I consider republicans in much the same light.

Second reason I swore that oat the Constitution ...means something to me. what's it go to do with this government?"

As for jarhead remark it came from a book I read long ago and far far away. May have been Clancy.

I read the post about the only error he made in that dog and pony show. couldn't pull up the u tube whatever as usual but it piqued my interest. I wouldn't have bothered for anyone else. Thus the power of U S M C.

Too many errors for whatever reason and as usual a lot of last minute last second unknown names showed up here the next morning....you are not in that category... so I tend to disbelief without independent vetting from a known member or my own research a lot of what is said. thus the pop quiz. The term ex and former marine are not new. They are really really old. they have their own special meaning...as any member of the Corps past or present can tell you. Nothing disjointed about it.

It's one way I honor them.

I wondered about that very subject. Are former Presidents and Congressionals exempt from the arrest procedures in the Patriot Act? For that matter how about members of the DISS? (DOHS to you.) I looked but didn't find it. The act itself does not have to contain all the operating functions though. Another one of Congress secret side deals. Signed undated pardons perhaps?

Yes we don't have enough bandwidth to support u tube. So whatever it was will remain a mystery unless they have it available in more than one format.....I live in the majority part of the world and I don't do u tube. At all.

Figures. So now it appears to be a no payer system last I heard that little detail was yet to be accomplished AND funded. What an AMAZING asshole.

Wasn't his only error. I read his own web site Jim Webb On the Issues. He may have been a Marine but I would make that ex-Marine not former Marine.
Not that I would support anyone from the left wing of the left anyway but it sounds like he said one thing but actively pursues a much further left agenda.

Here's from Jim Webb On the issue site. THUMBS DOWN and I didn't need to listen to the the phony debates.

I can't get u tube today so I'[ll mark this one for middle of the night.

the only thing that matters is the eventual new Fuhrer will be whomever the current Fuhrers have decided upon the rest including these joke party labels is ....irrelevant. Benefits of a totatlitarian one party system now go out and vote for it again - dumb asses..

It was easy. I had 50 years experience and st is st. I read a book and made some Amazon orders. All in all a productive evening.

Single payer systems are useful only for the very rich or if you work for the government or other employer who provides everything. For the average family with two employeed adults hopefully working for two separate employers who have separate healthcare plans it was WAS a case of setting one up to cover what the other didn't. THEN a third contract at very very low cost from a third payer was catrastrophic care. Kicked in when the other or others was max'd out. If handled correctly .....Most insurerers wanted the whole premium portion of the bundle and got greedy. But Canadians to make a good example routinely but catastrophic care policies south of the border. The Canadians couldn't afford to pay out of pocket when Canadian system ran dry of funds and the need was immediate but they could afford to pay premiums to protect that eventuality. Add a very inexpensive air ambulance service and que bueno good to gol. Until obamacare came along and now no one knows what they have or don't have EXCEPT outfits like Mayo where my sister works and Mayo doesn't accept government dollars and with it government control. In the last five or six years they expanded in Florida and took over a hospital in Georgia too handle the increase in patients or members patients. Besides the one in Arizona and the original one in Minnesota.

Military retirement medical is crap outside the country and VA is crap inside the country unless you know someone or paid someone off. - and so is Medicare. The doctors where I live and the hospitals don't like waiting years for obama to decide how to pay. So they stabilize at a very very low rate put you on the air ambulance and whoosh your back at Merciful Heavens Mercy Last Care - AKA ObamaCare. Hillary was right in saying what she did... she just didn't come out ans say her party had failed failed failed to do anything but increase cost and decrease servoces. Obamacare is a bigger joke than Obama.

I'd like to see a good description of his medical costs after a life of absenteeism and never holding down a job.....
