| Frontpage Man of the Year: LTC West. |
| 2004-01-02 |
| FrontPage Magazine’s Man of the Year has shown true courage, compassion and heroism in the face of battle – and unlike the worthies named above, he has suffered for his good deeds rather than received commendation. He has been on the frontlines of the War on Terror in the heart of the Iraqi resistance. He undertook extraordinary measures to safeguard the lives of his men, to protect Americans under attack by bloodthirsty Islamist gangleaders. Yet instead of reward he has been tested by fire, having been dishonored by the very military he served so effectively for the last 20 years of his life. This irresponsible punishing of someone who should be awarded for his bravery and patriotism endangers the American people. For that reason, we seek to honor Col. Allen B. West. |

| #2 Well said, OldSpook. It's not enough to make up for a career ended far too soon, but still sweet. Some leaders, such as Col West, naturally command respect - while others, such as Weasely, must demand it. Thank you for your service, Colonel. |

| #1 Headline should read COL West but his official rank is LTC until Congress fixes the Article 15 travesty by the deskbound PC REMFs whom Clinton inflicted on the Army. Those bastards havent commanded anything harder than a large steel desk in an air conditioned building. They arent combat troops. They're politicians in uniform, like Wesley "The Sock Puppet" Clark. |
