I'm thinking that we need a warrior for our next president. Someone who knows how things work and has the resolve to follow through. Besides James Webb, there is Allen West, Tammy Duckworth, Joni Ernst, Tom Cotton, Duncan Hunter Jr., or Tulsi Gabbi.

War really is hell. A necessary last resort at times, but used far to often.
Those on here who have never been, go talk to people who survived WW-II, Korea, VN, or Afghanistan. See how many WANT to see that again (different from those who will do so if needed, not the same thing at all).
Some on here are far too willing to send others to die.
