Holy moley!

What kind of post is that? I hope you have medication for that rage. I do know something, in fact many things that you don't about this case. From the start, I have tried only to get people here to refrain from making a snap judgment PRECISELY because what is in the public domain is only a fraction of the facts. The facts will be known soon enough. Were I trying to 'self-agrandize' as you suggest, why would I not just tell what I know, prove that I am right, and move on?

I don't care what anyone thinks about this case, I just hate to see thousands of posts based on nothing but PR. I have not hinted that I know about this case at all. I have made it quite clear that I do. I've also made it clear that it is not my place to talk about it, in the same way that it was not Col. West's place to bring the story to the public either.

My opinion is based on what I know, and because it differs greatly from what YOU know, you want to blame me for not sharing with you what is really none of your business. It may not have been 'nice' to suggest that you are all going off a cliff in support of West, but I figured some bit of warning was proper, before you all give Democrats another reason to laugh at us.

I hope with that, you are done yelling at me.

"I do know something, in fact many things that you don't about this case. From the start, I have tried only to get people here to refrain from making a snap judgment PRECISELY because what is in the public domain is only a fraction of the facts. The facts will be known soon enough."

And I'm telling you that the "public" can only make their judgement on what is IN THE PUBLIC ARENA. Also, the military has released what they deam is necessary and REASONABLE for the public to know. This matter is closed, the only comments that can come out now, will be from those involved, but only after they exit the military.

At this point it is a matter of "ethics". What is "ethical and good" for the military and for the troops. OR.. do YOU have an agenda? Is there someone out there that has a grudge, or an EGO that NEEDS more? If they do, they are unworthy of their uniform, because THEY cannot put their brothers and sisters in arms STILL serving, before themselves. This isn't a soap opera, and they need to MOVE ON! It's over, and we need to move past this one.

BTW, that which was meant to be made PUBLIC in this case, was already made PUBLIC. It is pretty audacious of YOU to think you are privleged to some great inside scoop. If there were "more" .. it would be out by now. And believe me.. the public is weary of this story. We have troops DYING for crying out loud. You served once, are you really this dense? Or have you never seen a dead soldier?

I meant what I said, there comes a point, where I would have to "question" the mental judgement of "anyone" trying to portray LTC West or this situation in any other light. It is OVER!! I might add, I noticed you were posting to threads for a long time after my response to you, yet it took you "several" days to respond to me. Do you always make it a habit to respond so late to a reply?

Lastly, I do not believe TYPED words can be "heard".

I realize that is computer language, but I use caps for emphasis.

END OF STORY!
