I still say we need Col. Allen West in the White House now. At the very least Vice President, no one knows the enemy better than him. I would lay my life down for this true American.

[Kerry H]

If he ran for president I would sent him my military retirement check!!

[Christopher L]

So Unemployed West, you were a ground Commander in Afghan, or a contractor making 6 figures. I'm glad Fld. saw through your lies and made you Unemployed.

[ArizonaSean]

This is the nazi puke who voted for NDAA 2012!

[TheSmartLawyer]

Concise and powerful, from the heart while rationale and collected, this guy is who we need for Secretary of State under a Romney administration!

[KravDr]

No he didn't. And Ted Nugent didn't make death threats to the president. You need to listen to the entire speech. Then you'll see he mean't the death of his term; not him. hate to tell you; Maobama (Muslim) is not for gays either. Said it many times; until about 15 minutes before he decided he needed the votes. And now he's pro-homosexual.

[Fearless1965]

Go Congressman West Go right to the White house

[TheRightThinker]

If he ran for president, he'd get 90+ percent of republican votes, but the moron Maher will still call republicans racist and his idiot followers will clap

[DaninJonesboro]

As a war vet I find it odd that so many vets on here are acting like the soldiers and Marines really want to be in Afghanistan, if you really ask them to tell the honest truth then most of them want to come home. We get charged for everything at the VA and the care for disabled vets like myself is sub par, but what can we expect when this quagmire is costing upwards of 2B a month. The men who died are just that and now we should look to preserving the lives of young men yet to go.

PEACE

shut the hell up 1, you liberal douche bags spent the greater part of the last decade calling conservatives nazis, and fascist so STFU. 2, the comparison to gays and animals is just a lie, 3, under DADT if you were gay and a good soldier nobody said shit. I would bet a huge chunk of people that were kicked out via DADT were lazy fucks who didn't wanna hump a rucksack and joined for the college money.4, i bet you don't have any problem with eminem's mosh or that movie death of a president do you?
