Most of us in Florida knows who Rep. Allen West is (R-FL) he is a 22 year former combat veteran, he is a conservative, an all around Bad A$$, and a real pain in the side of Obama .He is a great American , and personally one of my heros that I could one day see in the White House. So it came as no surprise to me when he commented on the recent incident with our marines and the dead taliban soldiers, but what I particularly like is his last sentence..
Rep. Allen West (R-FL) on the Marines Incident:
"I have sat back and assessed 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. It should be 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."

Me, Standing up and applauding. Thank you sir. Once again the Liberal Media at its best. What about the Nazi's in W.W.2?? They did by far much worse then this.
