Jim Webb exemplifies what’s best in American politics. I’m a Republican myself, and I only wish that the GOP could come up with candidates who are combat veterans like Jim who have the intellect, integrity, and leadership capability to offer this nation public servants who have earned our respect. I especially like the way he highlighted TR and Ike as the type of Republican chief executive that the current office holder would do well to emulate.

Being a combat vet let me just make this clear, Iraq, whether it be the “green zone” in Baghdad or near the Iranian border in Kurkuk, is a combat zone.Anyone who does not believe that this new GI Bill is worth the tax on the $1 million plus a year households should really reconsider living in America.I think McCains bill is also a nice boost and either one would be appreciated by many service members, if not all, but why not the best if it only taxes the richest few?
