I think you are right, and it wont be the first time that lawbreakers were defended because the results of their actions had a positive outcome. What many are doing, is exactly what Clinton did to the military by applying social standards to military doctrine. The two are not compatible in any way.

We have seen the result of 50 years of liberals bending the Constitution when it suited them, in favor of what they felt would be a better result. We have a political judiciary which cannot be trusted to uphold the Constitution, with a loss of trust in American leadership.

If the UCMJ can be corrupted in a similar way, then our Military will be unable to defend its position as the defenders of a free society. Col. West is one man. He is not to be made symbolic of a deterioration of Military law, just so some of us can claim a victory if he is excused.
