I remember this guy.
He should be a freaking General. Absolute Hero.

"He was the officer in charge on Aug. 20 of that year when soldiers under his command in Taji, Iraq, beat an Iraqi policeman they believed was hiding information about imminent attacks. Not getting the information he wanted, West took over the interrogation and, according to court reports, discharged his 9 mm pistol just above the policeman's head. According to West, the Iraqi then spilled the beans about a planned ambush."
This is a "take charge" guy.
If he hadn’t put the safety of his men over the pc s..t covering interrogations of the enemy, he would have made General.
