I have a lot of respect for Allen West- and what he did in a war zone was great, as far as I am concerned.
But I am not certain he is General Officer caliber. Def. high up in the pentagon- but not running things. Does he have any actual administrative experience?
Managing is different skill then leading men in battle. Put him back in the military. Okay maybe one star.
Actually, he got the 50,000’ view while in congress. He is well spoken, down to earth and not infected with the lack of common sense of being a long time GO or Congress critter. He loves his troops, willing to risk it all for them, and blunt as a baseball bat. He is perfect for many places in the Trump admin. Was hoping he would be the VP, although Pence has done well.
Obviously you don’t know Col. West. He is highly intelligent, extremely well read, gung ho in everything he undertakes and is no slacker in ANY department. With Allen, you get the whole package. Do you know anything about Allen West that isn’t hearsay? Read his newsletters for starters.
