The press will convict based on the old time feel good religion of liberialism and hatred of the military. This media exposure would have never happened in an elite unit; the good LTC's only error was to have acted in front of soldiers who themselves have no loyality to the Country or their fellow soldiers.

LTC West brought the media exposure on himself. He or his lawyer are the only ones giving information to the press.

If the press crucifies him, it's his own damn fault for not trusting the system. His leaders would have quietly issued justice, but he wanted his retirement guarranteed before he actually earned it. 20 years does not mean 19.999.
