During a speech yesterday at a memorial for Vietnam war veterans, Allen West asked a Democratic video tracker to leave, saying “If you have any amount of respect within you, I ask you to leave right now.”

I’ll be she felt shamed. At least she complied with West’s request.
Col. West has so many positive attributes I am sure glad he is on our side. He has to be one of the quickest thinking people I’ve ever heard. He never has to hesitate before responding. And his replies are always accurate. He and John Bolton would make a great Republican ticket.
Tom, West and Bolton is read meat to hungry tigers.
If have to tell you that even if Allen West was a Democrat, I would have the utmost respect for him. Any officer who sacrifices his career to save the lives of his soldiers is deserving of respect, no matter what his/her politics. As a 26 year military retiree, I’ve seen very few officers in the upper ranks who would have done what he did. He risked Courts Martial. That folks is a Federal Conviction which would have made him a convicted felon. He risked that to save his men. Allen West is a man of Honor and Integrity.
We used to go to war to win. Now we court matial troops who kill the enemy. Most flag officers have become political. Their goal is promotion, retirement and then sitting on a board of directors of some corporation that does military contracts. They will sacrifice any soldier that might get in the way of that goal.
