Webb is one of those special rare people with no redeeming qualities.

Except that he apparently has some talent as a writer.

He was a decorated military man.  I don't know what kind of Sec. of the Navy he was.  Anyone have some insight into that?

It was over budget cuts regarding the 600 ship Navy strategic plan. Webb was against the cuts.

Good.  More Democrats need to be like that.

Why? Do you support the military-industrial complex?

We're not heading towards WWII type conditions so we don't need one. Right now the big powers are consolidating and not really plotting against each other with the exception of india/pakistan which is different.

Maybe, but I'm just too paranoid to let our guard down.

Paranoia is a bad thing.

After 9/11, a little paranoia when it comes to cutting the military is a good thing.

Certainly not. Look where the big military has gotten us. And what NDN said.

Half of the reason 9/11 even happened was because we intervened in Iraq and Afghanistan in the '80s-early '90s.

I wish we had stayed out of those countries, but we didn't, and we're stuck with our current position, which dictates a large military.

How exactly does it do that? We're not going to be attacked.
