"During last night's Democrat debare, CNN’s Anderson Cooper noted that each of the candidates had
made a number of enemies during their careers in politics and asked them which enemy they were most proud of.
Most of the Democrats at the debate gave predictably boring answers to Cooper’s question. Lincoln Chafee said he was proud that the coal industry disliked him. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said the National Rifle Association. Bernie Sanders said Wall Street. What about Hillary?“Probably the Republicans" Hillary responded,..
But former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, a highly decorated Marine combat veteran, is what shook everyone awake.
“Which enemy are you most proud of?” Cooper asked. “Senator Webb?”
“I’d have to say the enemy soldier that threw the grenade that wounded me,” Webb calmly replied, “but he’s not around right now to talk to.”
Webb was referring to an operation during the Vietnam War that eventually led to Webb being awarded the Navy Cross. After being repeatedly shot at while trying to clear enemy bunkers, Webb deliberately put himself between an enemy grenade and one of his fellow Marines in order to shield that Marine from the grenade blast."
