Retired Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy, endorsing Webb's opponent, Harris Miller, said Webb has a "troubling record" of opposing women in the military.
"He is not in touch with today's military," said Kennedy, who was the highest-ranking woman in the Army when she retired as deputy chief of staff for intelligence in 2000. She noted that 18 percent of armed services personnel are women.
Webb, a secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration and a decorated Marine officer in Vietnam, wrote a 1979 article titled "Women Can't Fight." |
