Colonel West should be nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor, not persecuted by the effeminant boobs running this war.

[Jeff Head]

Colonel West was willing to take great personal risk in a time-critical, combat set of circumstances to accomplish his mission and save American lives. He was also willing to be acconutable for those risks.

Could easily be called "service above and beyond the call of duty".

No. That is given for valorous conduct at great personal risk under the fire of the enemy, not for actions such as LTC West's against an unarmed prisoner, but one still a threat to the lives of the colonel's men by virtue of his knowledge.

The decoration for which LTC West should be nominated is the Soldiers Medal, given for attempts to save the lives of others, often at risk to one's own.
