If a policy change went into effect immediately would that change the fact that LTC West still violated UCMJ? Would that make it ok?

If he's called by Senators Inhofe and Warner to testify about Quislings and defeatist REMFs undermining the ability of our combat troops to protect their own lives, and he's given full community immunity from prosecution, I'd expect that would do it.

Yep, our guys can't handle a coordinated ambush.

Oh, wait! I just heard the news it's 55 dead Fedayyeen - 5 wounded soldiers.

Oh yeah, West definitely without a doubt, no questions asked, saved lives! Of Iraqi insurgents!
