#4 Webb is a Vietnam vet who knows that blood is always red. As an officer in the Marine Corps during the only time that draftees were forced into the corp. They had their problems with race and he wrote about it in Fields of Fire. I'll give him credit and the armed forces for determining that merit trumps color.
