Murphy's adviser, Eric Johnson, said it was ironic that West would bring up his own military record in an ad hitting Murphy on legal issues. West, a lieutenant colonel, was reprimanded by the military for allegedly firing a pistol next to an Iraqi's head as he attempted to extract information from the detainee. He was fined $5,000 but allowed to retire with full benefits.
Now what's hilarious are right wingers saying Romney should get a "pass" when he coerced 5 young men to attack another young man and hold him down so Romney could assault him. The reason they give? Romney was a "teenager". Poor thing.
