Lost over the weekend...
Army Lt. Col. Allen B. West will not face a court martial for his alleged use of excessive force against an Iraqi detainee in August, according to reports.
The commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division, Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, has decided to impose an Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, ordering West to forfeit $5,000 in pay but allowing him to remain in the military until his scheduled retirement.
Odierno made his decision during a closed administrative hearing in Tikrit, Iraq, on Friday.
West will be allowed to retire at his current rank, his wife said.
And then get started on that book you know he will write...and I will read.
