Very well said.
If disciplinary procedures are to be followed, so be it. The breach of faith occurs here: the "offer" of voluntary resignation to a 19-year valor-decorated soldier to avoid the hassle. That is despicable and dishonorable. Whoever came up with that idea has no honor, no pride, no soul.

I agree with you. That offer should not have been made.

LTC West, should this go to Court Martial (seems doubtful given public sentiment at this point),will have a jury of PEERS - fellow officers and commanders - that will likely see this for what it is.
Assuming what has been written thus far is true, this will be a very difficult case for the prosecution.
