Allen West: Navy To Prosecute Chattanooga Hero
'What kind of freaking idiots are in charge of our Armed Forces?'
According to former congressman and retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Allen West, the U.S. Navy has decided to bring charges against the naval officer who fired his personal weapon at Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez during the ISIS supporter’s July 16 attack on the Chattanooga U.S. Naval and Marine Reserve Center.
Abdulazeez, armed with a handgun and an assault rifle, killed four Marines and one sailor.
In the posting on his website Saturday, West wrote:
“Ladies and gents, resulting from the text message I received yesterday, I can confirm that the United States Navy is bringing charges against Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White for illegally discharging a firearm on federal property.

WNU Editor: No jury is ever going to convict this hero. Unfortunately .... military justice is different, and the last thing that this family needs is this case going forward. On a more positive note .... even the Pentagon is now realizing that there should be a change in policy ....
