RE: What warcrimes did he commit??
Lt. Col. Allen West was charged with violating articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
West was processed through an Article 32 hearing in November 2003, where he admitted wrongdoing, was fined $5,000 over two months for misconduct and assault. He then submitted his resignation, and was allowed to retire with military honors and full benefits in the summer of 2004.
Thanks for the info. I still prefer him over the many numbnuts we have in Congress today.
