The left wing democrat and rino communist citizens of America are outraged at military soldiers who do their jobs of killing enemy terrorists than they are at the terrorist major who the DOJ defends for the murder of American soldiers at a military base which the DOJ rats describe as workplace violence.
Of the left wing communists it can truly be said, they call evil good and good evil.

How about a little perspective. These guys had just filled the tallibanners brains with hot led. And people get upset over a little pee?

[maineman]

Allen West is the man!

[mortal19440]

I agree with LCOL West and I appreciate your position. Hang in there for our troops and don’t let the Bastards beat you down.

[paterfamilias]

I like LTCOL West. I think he has it just about right.

Bravo!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Congratulations to Col West!!!

where are the other conservatives? the Weasels!

Where is Code Pink? Where is John Kerry and “Ghengis” Kahn, now that this is not a Republican President?

My empathy is for these Marines, who got to this point with multiple deployments and watching these Muslim savages kill their friends. Where is the outrage over decimating the military to create endless deployments? where is the outrage that the Va does not have enough services for these young veterans when they come home with the nitemares of WAR??

[Melas]

Reading other threads, I don’t think most readers have the slightest clue as to the severity of the punishment that West is recommending. He’s not calling for a slap on the wrist here.

[Blue Highway]

I appreciate that he is the only one so far defending our troops. All the GOP candidates should be following suit and doing so proudly.

[Travis McGee]

Well said, COL West.

[patriot08]

What a man!

View this short video of Col Allen West explaining Islam to a marine. (Start at about 1:35)

We need this man in the new Republican administration.
He is one of the few with guts enough to tell it like it is.
Our elected officials are limp wristed whips who are afraid of Obama and Muslims.

[fungoking]

Probably the 1st shower those guys have had in years.

[Pfesser]

God bless Allen West.

[Old Sarge]

Where is John Kerry and “Ghengis” Kahn, now that this is not a Republican President?

[Rappini]

I said almost the same thing as Col West on YT and pissed off a good number of Bleeding Heart Liberal Rag Heads, who couldn’t find their A$$ in a lighted room with both hands.

[sgtyork]

That is tangential. His point is seeking balance and perspective in media discussions.

[goat granny]

Could they have a defense that they were not peeing toward Mecca and they all think they missed the guy that had just tried to blow them up...and didn’t have any idea that one of the rules of engagment was no peeing on the bastard that just tried to kill you..just no peeing toward Mecca. And if the arab’s are offended, bring all our boys/girls/ home yesterday. Fight your own damn fight, if you want freedom fight for it yourself or live as slaves in the 5th centrury, we are done.....

[seekthetruth]

Maybe it was too much to expect senior officials to make the common sense points that 1) this incident is not something to get hysterical about, and 2) it needs to be put in the context of the admirable behavior of 99 percent of our troops 99 percent of the time. But aren’t there Republicans around who might want to make this point? I gather, for example, that there are several people running for the Republican presidential nomination. Maybe one of them could say a good word about our troops?

Totally agree! Here's hoping we will see at least ONE of the Presidential candidates speak up for our military! I STILL want to know WHO shot the video and proceeded to post it on the net! WHY isn't the media asking that question? We ALL KNOW if the video was of Monica in the Oval Office doing her thing in her blue dress, the media would be asking: "WHO was that terrible person who shot the video?"

[ClearBlueSky]

I would give those Marines 1st Freedom Urinary Medals.
They should have done it while the suckers were ALIVE.
This is the ENEMY-people who want to take over the world and plunge it into the Dark Ages. The same people who butcher and burn American bodies after dragging them through the streets.
NO mercy.
NO dignity.
Just death and befoulment of all things Muslim.
