"LTC Allen B West (USA, Ret) is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but his heart is in the right place."

Oh he's sharp alright, and brave enough that he wouldn't let this modern PC crap stand in his way of doing his duty. He fired his weapon near the head of a terrorist to scare crucial information out of him to protect his men; the terrorists carve off people's heads to show their meanness. Col. West understood how to deal with sub-human beasts like these. Don't confuse bravery with stupidity, I greatly admire the man and would want a commander just like him if I were serving in a hell hole like Iraq.

"Ask yourself, how would TERRORISTS treat a wounded US serviceman or woman?"

We already found out through Jessica Lynch, a 110 pound female that they saw fit to rape and torture.

Thanks for your great service to our country, LTC Col. West.

To have an opinion. . .okay. . .to sit in judgment. . .no.

First, let no person that has never laced up a pair of combat boots, gone on a combat operation, been shot, or shot at offer their “opinion” on this issue

I can understanding not passing judgement, but not having an opinion? Does the good Major feel that those that were never shot at and supported him should not have?
