I'm making an endorsement early. I'm supporting former Senator James Webb for president. He announced an exploratory committee last month.

I hope he runs, and I think he has a chance against Hillary, who I think must be stopped as a corrupt crony and likely warmonger who will destroy us all in the worst case, and only men in the best case.
Webb is the real deal. I haven't met him, but I have mutual friends who have worked with him on veterans' issues and I respect their judgment.
Naval Academy, then Marine officer in Vietnam. Navy Cross, Silver Star, 2 x Bronze Stars, 2 x Purple Heart. The Navy Cross is the second highest decoration in the military.
Went to law school, wrote an article, Women Can't Fight, which caused a furor but is absolutely spot-on in its critique of women in combat.
Assistant Secretary of Defense and Secretary of the Navy under Ronald Reagan. Senator.
Author of six novels and two non-fiction books. The novels are good expositions of his way of thinking. Anti-SWPL, anti-chickenhawk. I can recommend Fields of Fire, A Sense of Honor, A Country Such as This and Something to Die For. The latter is a brutal takedown of Washington think-tank chickenhawks written after he had been Asst. SECDEF and SECNAV.
As a senator, took as his signature issue the insanely high rate of imprisonment in "the land of the free" to push sentencing and prison reform.

If that's not enough, married a Vietnamese woman 22 years younger than him.
