I'd follow a leader and soldier like Al West anytime.
Soldiers want leaders. They want men willing to stand up for them at the highest levels.
Somewhere back in the 90s, the army lost those types of leaders.
Now, the LTC Wests of the army go on back to the house for making on-site decisions that don't fit the Monday Morning Quarterbacks war rule book.
The "war managers" that charge him continue to compound on their own errors.....
and the soldiers are the ones left with subpar leadership and touchy-feely guidance.
LTC West, I'd follow you. I know hundreds more that would as well.
To: military cop
I would follow him and would want my own sons following such a man.
He's a fine person who has a bright future in front of him and his family. The good Lord has a way of rewarding those who stand for right through adversity.
I pray there are many, many more like him out there.
