[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, this was an Iraqi policeman who knew of a plot to assassinate US soldiers. West stopped that in his tracks.

He is a hero. Not surprising DCUM liberals are more concerned about a man who planned to kill than our own so,diets. Same lot were pissed a Marine punched an Afghani commander for raping a child on our base.

We're actually concerned about the rule of law as set forth in rules of engagement and the UCMJ.  If he was a hero then he should have refused to resign and defended his actions at the court martial.  He's a coward who ordered four men to beat another man.  [/quote]

Right.  West showed blatant and reckless disregard for well established military law in the UCMJ.  He violated his oath of enlistment into the service.  He has no business being involved in governance and policy.[/quote]

Roses?
Chocolates?
US citizenship?

What should we have given the nice assassin?[/quote]

Your deflection tactics need work.  The UCMJ is "a thing" for reason.  All soldiers (especially officers) are sworn to uphold it.  Yet in all your praises about West, you fail to address the UCMJ issue.  Not only did he flout it but he caused 4 other men to flout it on his order.   And if you are saying that violations of the UCMJ are ok if the reason is "compelling enough," we can agree to disagree. [/quote]

Again, what should we give the nice assassin?

I'm saying exactly that. A good commander does not allow his men to be wantonly killed. As a father or mother, if someone was after your children, you would not care what you have to do to protect them. You would not offer an intruder tea and toast.[/quote]
