after his commanders in Afghanistan told him to "quit whining" about orders to lead patrols without objective "through, for lack of a better term, basically a mine field on a daily basis,"

In a perfect world, those "commanders," and their higher chain of command as high as it goes, would trigger a series of Courts Martial for treason.

I can't think of a better definition of an illegal order: sacrificing the lives of men under their command without a clear objective.

I believe the only way our U.S.Military command will be improved is with a Commander In Chief who honors and supports our Military and will select a Secretary Of Defense who will be of the highest qualifications.

I pray President Romney will select Congressman Allen West as our Secretary Of Defense!
