Besides graduating from Annapolis at the top of his class, being first in his class of 243 lieutenants at the Basic School, being a platoon and company commander and winning a Navy Cross, Silver Star, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts in Viet Nam, he was a committee general counsel, congressional staffer, official in the Defense Department, SecNav and senator, he is a NY Times best selling author, has the screenwriting credit for "Rules of Engagement" and he even has a bleeping EMMY.
But the thing that is so awesome is that he resigned as SeNav in protest of what the SecDef asked him to do. It blew me away at the time. Who does that? The story is that the SecDef Carlucci asked him to misrepresent facts to the Congress. He laid it on Carlucci at the time. Awesome. Specifically he was asked to misrepresent the usefulness of a new class of Navy warships.
Senator Webb is exactly what we need.

He lost his chance. Bernie took his thunder. His campaign is not going anywhere. His only debate and said nothing.

Took his thunder? Senator Webb and Senator Sanders (both of whom I like) have as much in common as a chestnut horse and a horse chestnut.
One of the variables for a 3rd party run it seems to me is the high negatives for the other candidates. Clinton had very high negatives and of course so does Trump. If Sanders surges, that might undercut Senator Webb's support some. He is planning as I understand it, to pull from both parties.
But let me close by saying you are totally clueless.

From some one who spends there time doing post with conspiracy theories about Bush. Next you will blame his for 9/11. You have no credibility.

Jim Webb isn't running, is he? He's probably one of the less odious democrats who wants to expand government and spend my money on people who won't work, but he's still a democrat.

Deomcrats won World War Two, established the 40 hour work week and the minimum wage, the voting rights act and on and on.
You sound as if you've trick-fucked into working against your own best interests.
Jim Webb was SecNav in the Reagan Administration. He is an -Independent- and he is still considering a 3rd Party run.

I'm well aware of who Jim Webb was. The democrats are also the party that created and maintained the KKK. I don't disagree with Jim Webb particularly on gun control, but that's just about the only thing I don't disagree with him on, and democrats (as Webb is and has always been) are going to democrat when it comes down to it.
If he runs as an independent, he won't get enough votes to matter.
"The military" won't support Jim Webb because he's a democrat, and by and large the democrats destroy the military every chance they get. It's just a fact of life, like death and taxes -- they need the money to hand out to their supporters who don't work.
