Allen West Fights the Smears

“If It’s About the Lives of My Men and Their Safety, I’d Go Through Hell with a Gasoline Can”

Today Congressional candidate Allen West released a biographical video– setting his distinguished record straight– in response to a nasty campaign of character assassination by leftist activists and his opponent’s surrogates. He said:

“During the next 3 months, this dishonorable opponent is going to try to distort and falsify my service in Iraq as a combat Battalion Commander in 2003. Let me be perfectly clear– as a Battalion Commander during Operation Iraqi Freedom, my number one priority was the safety and lives of my men. I am proud to have sacrificed my military career in order to carry out that solemn promise to each of them and their families.

While my service in Iraq has been well documented, I wanted to share this short video with you that further explains what I did, why I did it, and what happened as a result. You will clearly come to know who I am.”
