Lt. Colonel Allen West Talks About The Leavenworth 10
.
People gathered outside of the Leavenworth prison to bring attention to 10 former soldiers who they say should be released.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
And please don’t forget the Stryker Brigrade soldiers being held at McCord AFB near Seattle, Wa. They are in the same position.
For this to be happening to our warriors, our heroes is beyond horrible. It is unforgivable.
They’re imprisoned for breaking a ROE? That crime could have been shooting an insurgent who was standing in the window of a Mosque shooting RPG’s at a passing convoy.
If anyone should know what happened to these men, Lt. Col Allen West would as he’s been put through the ringer. Also, many of these men were put in prison when Bush was in the White House so we can’t blame Obama on this one.
Bush should have issued a blanket pardon to all these men when he left office. I am glad to see that people are aware of these men and their predicament. Thank you Col. West for continuing to stand tall for our troops.
Both Bob and Tom are right on this, this happened on Bush’s watch too. Don’t blame ineptitude of the JCS, a muzzie president or that dickweed Gates, just punish the troops, like GWB did the border patrol.
These cockamayme ROEs were Bushes to begin with, they were restrictive since we got there. Remember Soldiers going to there Check points with a buckets of Rocks to throw at the enemy just to aggravate them to shoot?
The whole military has gone PC At least O6 and above its the only way to get promoted. The whole thing is a crocko of crap.
Bob, I agree, Lt. Col West is perfect to be the one to speak about this. He can really understand how these warriors are going through.
Tom, that would have been so wonderful if Bush would have done that.
Jack, exactly.
Mark, well said, thank you.
