You could reserch that by looking at my posts for the past 6 weeks, but there are an awful lot of them.

No thanks. I'm just responding to your specific post to me yesterday. I don't care to research how you may have hedged your position elsewhere.

letters of reprimand are usually put in your performance fiche-(disk now, I guess)so that it's automatically seen during promotion review...if it was UCMJ action (Article 15), it could be filed in a restricted fiche, and not be disclosed at a promotion board...but at the field grade and above, none of this stuff would be hidden- Fox News will probably pick this guy up...someone didn't watch his 6...

A charge should never have been filed, just an award ceremony.

Excuse me. I hate to interject any facts in this love fest for the rule breaker. But West himself reported the incident. He reported that he stood by and allowed his men to beat the prisoner and then he himself fired his gun near the man's head.

Would you have preferred that the process was ignored and they patted him on the head and sent him on his way?

Excuse me......but West reported HIMSELF. But don't let the facts get in the way of your emotions.

Justice is served.

Justice be damned!

This will depress the holier-than-thou absolutist losers who remain in the army, who believe that the rules are the end in themselves, who lack the ability to reason and think, and who can't wipe their own butts if the military manual doesn't provide them with diagrams...

We sure got more than our share of them whining here in FR about "better dead than dishonor..." or some other variant.

I would hate to be anywhere within 200 miles of those delusional losers.

Col. West did the right thing, for the right reason, for the right folks...
He has earned our gratitude and respect....NOT a letter of reprimand.

I think the good Col might disagree with that.
He is a professional; an officer with a brain. He knows the rules and when to break them.

He also knows that there are consequences. He, unlike other shrill voices here, is aware that being a robot with a manual is not the true role of leadership.

God bless him in his well-earned retirement.

Jeff, how has this impacted the good Col's family finances?
Has he received enough support from those of us who care?

if they did nothing, the media would have made a big deal of it, and demanded prosecution.

They want prosecution? Let's give it to them.
For providing aid and comfort to the enemy.

I have failed to find when and how being a correspondent created immunity for brainless traitors.

Is he a Pubbie? If not he should be. He should get his bird too.

You know, I remember the time when, if he is a man of integrity as I suspect, it didn't matter what party he belongs to.

How would you like it served?

He he he he.
I didn't expect any of those uniformed morons to show their faces on this thread. At least one is backpedalling so fast he is ruining the crease on his pants.

Seriously, I expected them all to have perished in some building fire, facing an "entrance only" sign, and paging furiously through their manuals trying to figure out what to do next...

"Honor", you know...

Thanks. Where is the "UCMJ is all unto itself" crowd? I thought they would all be here talking about how this will totally destroy our military and cause a plague of locusts and end civilization as we know it.
