I heard this earlier and was very happy to hear that Col. West will get a break. If there ever was a soldier that all of us could be proud of, it's Colonel West. This GREAT AMERICAN could have easily ignored his own misconduct and there was a good chance no one would have ever known. But he was bigger than that, he knew he violated the code of conduct and his decision to report his own misconduct brought home the real meaning of HONOR, DUTY, COUNTRY.

Colonel West has lived up to the standards that many others will never know, I am glad his superiors are being lenient on him, and if by chance Colonel West reads this thread, I have this message for him....

I salute you Sir, You are a Great American

Very nice post. I am happy to hear the news, but sad that Col. West had to be put through such a draining ordeal.

Thank you Mike.

We all owe Lt Col West a big thank you for his service to America.
