Thanks flutters. I hope you find the link I sent you informative.

The best I can do for these men (having a brother in the 101st)is fight their enemies here at home. Anyone who challenges this man is an enemy to our liberties.

If he retires, he falls short of his benefits. He is just shy of his 20 years. NO BENEFITS. He should NOT accept a retirement, as he will not recieve benefits from all I've read. This is not acceptable. He has done nothing WRONG.

I hope he fights this all the way!! He has done everything right. He saved his men. He "should" be getting pinned with a medal. Considering how we are losing our troops by snipers, we shouldn't be discouraging our troops from this kind of interrogation techniques. In fact, they should be able to be a heck of a lot rougher without fear of ANY consequences. This is WAR. I could care less if the prisoner had LOST an ear in the interrogation. If it saved ONE of ours it would have been worth it!

See ya in the morning. Thanks again. Goodnight FRiend!!

>>>If he retires, he falls short of his benefits.

He has a wife recovering from cancer and two young daughters too.

This seems so grossly unfair.May the Army do the right thing by Col. West. eventually.

[Fawnn]

To ROB Lt. Col. Allen B. West of his retirement and other military benefits would truly be criminal!

God bless this man for his service to our country!

[DollyCali]

Thanks Cal..

I am most of the time so very proud of our military....

but other times..

ugh, well, you know!

God's strength & help to this great man & his family

[putupon]

BUMP for Col. West

[RaceBannon]

thay would have to defend Bush's War to help this man.

[F-117A]

Bump for later action!

This whole thing is PC. There is no place for PC in war if lives are at stake. This man did a smart thing and should be rewarded, not punished. Let's go to the PC Pentagon and kick some A.

I've looked at Weinie's site but I haven't tried to sign the guest book yet. Maybe this weekend. I look a lot.

TO myself I said, "You look so familiar! Have we met before?" LOL...........

This isn't my best poem because I get too mad to flow with it but here is as close as I'll get.

Weenies hate Heroes

Just what the hell you thinking,
Your head is up your butt.
This punishment you’re seeking,
Makes you, look like nut.
He didn’t harm a single soul,
He only saved some lives.
A few more soldiers, who’ll go home,
And grow old with their wives.
How can you drag him through the dirt,
While sitting in your chair?
I, for one am glad that he,
Not you, was over there
Our soldiers fight our nation’s wars,
And this man is the best.
Stop your persecution of,
Lieutenant Colonel West

Flurry 11/7/3

If any Pentagon Weenie wants to talk about this, I’m ready!!!

[Poohbah]

What's your take on "Do as I say, not as I do" leadership?

[sultan88]

That was a good poem. Thanks!

[Conspiracy Guy]

My take is that it is not leadership. Leadership is "follow me".
