The progressives who attended Congressman Allen West’s town hall meeting managed to drop some choice questions on the good Congressman. One of the questions was about an alleged Article 15 hearing that he supposedly received in the Army- never mind the fact that West never received an Article 15 hearing before leaving the Army- West left the military with full honors and his pension.
West took a bit of an issue with the question, and posed one of his own to his detractors-
“If you guys want to go back and talk about what happened nine years ago to me, lets talk about the President doing blow.”

Give this man an award!!!!!!!! God bless Allen West . I love his comeback to the jerk in the audience.
If they don’t like what Lt. Col. West did nine years ago, they can discuss it with the soldiers who are now alive because of his actions. I’m sure these soldiers would have an immediate response to their questions and accusations against the Colonel.
One of the best retorts in political history. Col Wests communications skills reminds me a lot of Ronald Reagan.
Allen west retired early from the Army because he was a victim of staff officers who were locked into PC. I don’t think any officer in the US Army should make flag rank unless he has a Combat Infantryman’s Badge. Too many damn CYA REMFs in the upper ranks.
Thank you Bob and Tom so much.
