FYI, my own thoughts on the developing situation with Lt. Colonel West.

[Stopislamnow]

Pentagon desk jockeys still running amok.

West did what was needed. No more, no less.

It's typical Clinton era army BS carrying over.

Great post, keep the issue alive. West did the right thing.

I agree completely.
Our country seems to be infested with mental deficients who can't figure out the difference between rules and objectives.

They would, after someone rescues a drowning child, want to jail the rescuer for neglecting to wear a life jacket, as the rules require.

I am actively calling out every idiot who gives me that " we must not sink to their level" bu*****t!

I think the Lt. Col. should receive swift justice for his actions.

He should be fined $1.67 for the two 9mm rounds, and receive the appropriate citation for leadership above and beyond the call of duty in a war zone.
(I'm not quite sure which medal that would be, but I'm certain that sentence describes his behavior accurately.)

Jeff, thanks for taking the time to write this essay.

Best Regards,

Thanks for the ping. In the fwiw department, I would glady share a foxhole with Lt Colonel West. And, I don't like foxholes.

Jeff -- thanks for the heads up. Sorry for being so late to this thread.

Here's hoping that cool heads prevail and that Col. West is allowed to live out his life in the honorable way he deserves. Agree with you....he can have my six anytime.
