Webb’s opponent had accused him of not being patriotic because he opposed many of President George W. Bush’s Iraq War policies. This technique of publicly intimating that an opponent was not patriotic because he opposed the hawkish proposals of the President, had worked very well for the Republicans before. Presidential Candidate John Kerry, a decorated war hero, was attacked and remarkably Senator Max Cleland who had lost three of his four limbs in battle was unseated by attacking his patriotism.

Senator Allen, like most of the patriotism critics of heroic veterans, had never been in combat.
