West was criminally charged with violating the UCMJ, found guilty of 3 counts of aggrivated assault, and relieved of his command, yes. Final army report says he performed illegal acts, merited court martial, and faced 11 years in prison, yes. This is what you get if you Google Allen West and click on his Wikipedia page, not exactly groundbreaking stuff.

Allen West is a war criminal. The voters should know this when they cast their ballot.

The response from West's spokesperson is hilarious.

Quote
"What kind of man who has never worn the uniform attacks an honorably discharged combat veteran for acting to protect the lives of his soldiers?" Edson said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "A desperate man and apparently the same kind of man who calls a decorated combat veteran a coward, gets into drunken bar fights, verbally assaults police officers and then uses his family's connections to get out of trouble. Patrick Murphy is a spoiled brat and a truly terrible person."


lol that sounds like something that could be posted here on this forum

Because he interrogated Yahya Hamoodi?

Because he beat and threatened with death Hamoodi, an Iraqi police officer.

The Allen West/Patrick Murphy house race is by far the ugliest house race this election cycle

Allen West belongs to a prison cell, like many of his colleagues in congress.
