Suspend judgment for a moment until you watch this (and forgive the fact that it is Keith Olbermann asking the questions):
Webb is saying (rightly) that politics should stay out of military service, and that military service should not be a prerequisite for public service or a political talking point.
In short, it’s military service. And it’s something quite different if it’s used for political gain.
Take the politics out, remove the grandstanding of General Wesley “I Almost Started World War III” Clark, and forget that Webb is a Democrat.
Jim Webb is 100% right about this.
