Reply #16: Military Women Endorse Webb [View All]

[sandnsea]

Maybe you should have looked for more info than the right wing slam against Webb.

"Those making endorsements included Lt. Colonel Kate Wilder (USAR ret.), Brigadier General Clara Adams-Ender (US Army ret.), Captain Barbara Brehm (USN ret.), Major Susan Kellom (USAR), Major Patricia Anderson (USAR), Major Susan Yamamato, Col. Barbara Lee (US Army ret.), Brig. Gen. Pat Foote (US Army ret.), and several others.

The women spoke eloquently and forcefully of their support for Jim Webb as a "man of integrity and vision" who has the "deepest respect for everyone." They also praised Webb as someone who, by opening billets as Navy Secretary to women in the Navy, started a "ripple effect" on all the services that was "crucial" and "has to be emphasized." According to Kate Wilder, "Jim Webb started the ball rolling and that's big."
