Jim Webb?

[pmclaine]

New Sec Def?

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/...y-around-jim-webb-for-next-defense-secretary/

He was the only dem running that once in awhile made sense.

He is no interventionist.

Navy Cross USMC so he has seen the costs.

But he has that D after his name.

Cant we find someone thats unenrolled, independant, even a Liberal in the vein of Locke/Jefferson?

 

[ArmyJerry]

he is a POS

 

[Rthur]

Being on the D team he is required to stay in line.
When the chips are down you can count on it.

Jim Webb has a lifetime of military and bipartisan public service, and would make a great SECDEF.

Begs the question, though...

After what happened to Mattis, why would Webb agree to the position instead of saying "Fuck that"?

 

[ArmyJerry]

Webb is a Maverick,,, ask yourself who else was considered a Maverick in DC???? And funny enough was an academy grad.

 

[ArmyJerry]

What do you mean what happened to Mattis? You mean Obama firing his ass unceremoniously? Or trump letting his globalist ass go nicely?

Trump now says he fired him...cause he would've made a better General.

 

[ArmyJerry]

Well, considering the way he was putting “allies” and the MIC in front of National Interest I think trump is right, and this is a 180 for me based upon Mattis resignation letter and final letter to DOD.. Fuck him, warrior monk my ass. Warrior Punkd more like it..

 

[packratt]

Webb was and is a fn idiot

 

[pmclaine]

One thing Webb did that was smart after he was medically retired he used MAC flights to tour the WWII Pacific battlefields, boonie stomping those places only 30 some odd years after the events.

That would be an outstanding trip.

Maybe he should go on another vacation.

He's a leftist commie motherfucker. I served too, that doesn't give me a pass on being a Marxist or undermining ongoing combat operations, even if you disagree with them.
I served with Slick Willie as CIC, and when he said go I went till the job was done. It seems only a leftist fuck is allowed to finish a fight. Every time a Republican is in charge they want to play commie hippie and pull the football away from our troops. FUCK Webb! He is a Harry Reid, defeatist, traitorous Democrat. He's only pro-military/anti-war when a Democrat is President. His allegiance is to the Democrat party, not the country.

There are not many Marxist officers, but there are a few. He's one of them.

 

[dmg308]

The fucker tried to sneek a pistol on an airline and when caught dropped blame on his aid. He's another fucking McCain a Manchurian candidate for the powers that be.

Being totally honest, any veteran who is a democrat is a traitor to their oath. You can't protect and defend a document limiting the power of government and be FOR unlimited government. Being a leftist totalitarian is totally incompatible with defending liberty and human rights. They are opposites.

 

[pmclaine]

Good info here.

I thought he left Reagans admin early.

Probably another example of a Sec Def that didnt like the POTUS direction.

 

[ArmyJerry]

I would say the same for any vet over 50 and still a republican.

The story in the New York Times regarding Jim Webb being considered as the next Secretary of Defense is FAKE NEWS. I’m sure he is a fine man, but I don’t know Jim, and never met him. Patrick Shanahan, who is Acting Secretary of Defense, is doing a great job!

No offense, but your nuclear trigger finger is too twitchy and you tend to exceed orders AJ.
