Given the fact he waxed the floor with this guy, you can expect MSNBC talking heads and their ilk to rehash his Taji, Iraq interrogation incident.
That incident makes him even more appealing to me!
From Wiki (who I generally don’t like) :
West, who had completed almost 22 years of active service, was charged with violating articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He was processed through an Article 32 hearing in November 2003, where he stated “I know the method I used was not right, but I wanted to take care of my soldiers” and was fined $5,000. LTC West accepted the judgment and retired with full benefits in the summer of 2004. Asked if he would have act differently if under similar circumstances again, West testified, “If it’s about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I’d go through hell with a gasoline can.”
Personally, I have no problem with it. Nevertheless, you can believe it will be brought up if West becomes a more prominent figure.
This man is a bad-a$$! A true American. What America used to be. Maybe there’s still hope for our country.
