It seems that some of the folks out there from my old home, (the NAV) are not quite the mindless automatons that everyone seems to believe...this article about a recent speech by James Webb (former SECNAV) about the situation in the middle-east and Iraq specifically, seems to bring home the idea that there is some independant thinking out there. Expect no attribution, since some of the Active Duty folks could be prosecuted under Article 88 (bad mouthing Dim Son in public), but at least they're thinking. I think Webb wanted to Kick Saddam's ass over the Stark too, but I might be wrong....
