[StBernard] HooRah! Allen West

[Westley Annis]

Great response by the man who I'd like to see one day become President of
the United States.

 


Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.), a former Army lieutenant colonel, sends THE WEEKLY
STANDARD an email commenting on the Marines' video, and this is what he
said;

"I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines
urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation
when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through
Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our
Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung
from a bridge in Fallujah.

"All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill.
Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who
were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?

"The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade
level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level
letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress
uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God,
Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine
Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.

"As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut
your mouth, war is hell."
