Please post your proof that LTC West saved lives because of his actions.

How about you proving if he hadn't acted that way he did that American would not have died.

We will lose soldiers in war, but with the informatin LTC West already had there were many ways to mitigate that risk. Awareness of a plan is almost as good as having the whole plan for good commanders, that is the way 99% of our operations are conducted anyway.

Look at the number of attacks on our troops daily and the number of our troops killed. The enemy is nowhere near 100% effective, and for you to give them that credit is an insult to our well trained and motivated soldiers.
