So? He wasn't discharged. He retired. Honorably.
He was forced to retire dick head, when given the option to retire or be convicted via court martial what choice did he have? Dumbfucking rightwing nut piece of shit.
And if you could stop being retarded, too, that'd be cool.
He was NOT given the option to retire or face court-martial. This is nothing but a leftist lie. But, you're stupid, so naturally, you swallowed it.
CNN.com - U.S. officer fined for harsh interrogation tactics - Dec. 13, 2003
TIKRIT, Iraq (CNN) -- The commanding general of the 4th Infantry Division on Friday accepted a U.S. military investigator's recommendation and ordered administrative action against Lt. Col. Allen West, who was accused of using improper methods to force information out of an Iraqi detainee.
Following a military hearing, West was fined $5,000 over two months, according to West's civillian attorney, Neal Puckett.
The punishment does not affect West's eligibility for retirement and pension, Puckett said in a statement.
West, 42, will be assigned to the rear detachment of the 4th Infantry Division awaiting the processing of his retirement request, the statement said.
Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the 4th Infantry's top general in Tikrit, could have rejected the recommendation and ordered a court martial. If he were to be found guilty at a court martial of the two articles against him, West could have faced 11 years in prison, a military prosecutor told CNN.

Got that? His CO accepted the prosecutor's recommendation that West be given an Article 15.
