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.
Thank you for that info and your insights! Coming from you, it’s like a gold standard. Here’s hoping Trump and West form a team and take the WH by storm.
MAGA!
And fast track ran dead smack into PC - in a war run by, who was it now, oh, yeah, Rumsfeld.
