In an open convention, my candidate would be someone who said these words:

"If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can."
~ Allen West

That is why I respect Alan West. I would have loved being his battalion chaplain.

He understood the fine line between ethics and results. He walked on the line but he didn’t cross it.

The army crucified him for it, but now he tells them when to dance.

I would absolutely love for him to be the Cdr in Chief some day. It’s been a while since we’ve had a real soldier with real command experience at the head of the nation.
