| Info | Lieutenant Colonel Allen West (US Army, Retired) was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and is third of four generations of military servicemen in his family. His parents instilled in him a very basic principle, love of God and Country. In 2004, when it was time to retire from more than twenty years of service in the US Army, he brought his wife and two young daughters to Broward County, Florida, where he taught high school for one year. He then returned to Afghanistan as an advisor to the Afghan army, an assignment he finished in November 2007.
Allen West received his Bachelors degree from University of Tennessee and Masters degree from Kansas State University, both in political science. He also holds a Master of Military Arts and Sciences from the US Army Command and General Staff Officer College in political theory and military operations.
“Education is the great equalizer,” he says. “With a good education, any child in America can live his dream.”
Allen West knows that for our children to live their dreams, they need to be safe. He has served in several combat zones: in Operation Desert Storm, in Operation Iraqi Freedom, where he was battalion commander for the Army’s 4th Infantry Division, and in Afghanistan, where he trained Afghan officers to take on the responsibility of securing their own country.
In his Army career, Col. West has been honored many times, including a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals (one with Valor), and a Valorous Unit Award. He received his valor award as a Captain in Desert Shield/Storm, was the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year in 1993, and was a Distinguished Honor Graduate III Corps Assault School. He proudly wears the Army Master parachutist badge, Air Assault badge, Navy/Marine Corps parachutist insignia, Italian parachutist wings, and German proficiency badge (Bronze award).
Allen is an avid distance runner, a PADI Master certified SCUBA diver, motorcyclist, and attends Community Christian Church in Tamarac Florida.
Excellence is a West family tradition. His wife, Angela, holds an MBA and PhD. and works as a financial planner. His oldest daughter, Aubrey, attends Archbishop McCarthy HS and his youngest daughter, Austen, attends Cooper City Christian Academy.

He later said "he's heard" up to 80 U.S. House Democrats are Communist Party members, but wouldn't name names. - http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/state/allen-west-hears-cheers-jeers-at-town-hall-2295766.html

That certainly won't do. How can I know whether or not to vote for Ed Pastor unless I know for sure he is a true card-carrying member Commie?

Even if he admitted to it, I wouldn't trust it. You know you can't trust anything Obama and those Dems say.

No, actually-he's running in the 18th, which CQ Politics has stated is "Leans Republican" and we don't have a great candidate. Unless he gets thrown out in the primary, which is a possibility.

The new 18th voted 51-48% for Obama, 49-47% for Rick Scott and 50-33-16% for Marco Rubio, so we'll see.

My statement to the United Nations would have been, “The future does not belong to those who attack our Embassies and Consulates and kill our Ambassadors.

Seriously? It was straight out of some horrible action movie where Vin Diesel is president.
Even GWB would have laughed at how over the top the dick-wagging in his statement was.

Subtlety has its role in movies to maintain a suspension of disbelief. West's lunacy provides a reprieve and as a result, freedom from conventional speech boundaries. An address with language like that probably would concern people, which is presumably the point.

I like the sentiment, but the rhetoric is stupid. I'd much prefer a direct and real warning. Something along the lines of "If you climb over the fence of our embassy and try to attack us, our Marines will shoot you."

And always remember, Abraham Lincoln only served one term in Congress, too.
Lincoln fulfilled a one-term pledge and therefore did not run for a second term, effectively nullifying West's point since West himself planned to serve multiple terms to begin with.

I mean I suppose that makes sense if Butthurt was passed over for a promotion in favour of West, but that was years ago. You think Butthurt would have learned to let it go.
