Wouldn’t West be great? He’s positively fearless, not to mention eloquent and razor-sharp. His conservative credentials are second to none, and he’s got the military box checked with room to spare. If Trump listened to me I’d beg him to choose West. As it is, I can only hope.
I will settle for George Washington, but as a 24 year veteran I can guarantee you that LTC Alan West WOULD have been promoted to general if he had had even the tiniest politically correct bone in his body. It was as sure that he would get a star as it was that the ocean is wet. He was a fast tracker, but also a man who put the lives of his troops above the life of a terrorist. He’s a hero in my mind. He left it all on the field of battle for his men.
