But I take issue with the implication that LTC West has "nothing else" on his government resume. IMNSHO, his credentials as a US Army artillery officer who led troops in battle, and who put the lives of his men before his career, makes him more qualified than any other potential candidate of any party, regardless of political pedigree or resume.
But who is the representative to which you refer?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
President Abraham Lincoln. We elect governors, vice-presidents, generals (flag officers) and senators. Lieutenant colonels are not flag officers and Rep. West has been in office, what, three months now? Obviously, I respect LTC West’s service, but I’m just saying who we’ve elected in our last 235 years.
