What you need to understand is that he is not being prosecuted by some human rights activist, LTC West admitted to committing a crime under the UCMJ.

If you want to throw out violations of the UCMJ when you "agree" with the crime go right ahead and believe that Clinton's impeachment was "just about sex".

Detach yourself from the emotional response to this action and remember that a military leader's highest responsibility is to be a role model to his men.

The result, court martial, would be the same if he had admitted to adultry and chose court martial for punishment over leaving the service, the same choice he was given here.

Our soldiers are professionals who know their duty and their resoponsibility. The UCMJ is a document that serves as a bitter reminder when one fails to live up to the standard.
