He Saved My Life: Veteran Recalls Serving Under Rep. West in Powerful New Ad

Allen West For Congress released on Wednesday a powerful new ad featuring former U.S. Army Sergeant Robert Delgado.

The video, titled “Body Armor,” begins with the veteran recalling his deployment to Iraq.

“When we got our orders to go to Iraq, my wife was eight months pregnant,” he says, “so it was a little nerve-wracking not knowing, you know, ‘will I get to see my unborn child?’”

“My commander was Lt. Col. Allen West and he said, ‘I’m going to make sure you come home to your wife your newborn baby,” Sgt. Delgado adds. “Before we went into Iraq, he gave me his body armor.”

The Iraq veteran then recalls a moment where, while driving through the streets of Iraq, his unit came under fire. He was shot by an AK-47 but, because of the body armor given to him by Lt. Col. West, the bullet didn’t penetrate his lung.

Colonel West for President. If you want to know the measure of this man, look at why he's no longer serving. An insurgent had info on an attack on his guys and he fired his service weapon close to the insurgent's head. The coward spilled all he knew. When the Colonel acted on the intel, his forces weren't touched for the remainder of the time he was in charge.

They tried to pull him up on charges and told him to apologize. He said no. That if given the choice, he'd walk through hell with gas cans for his troops so he had his commission revoked. The man is a warrior.

And have you seen him stand up to CAIR and muslims in town halls? It's pretty damned close to orgasmic

I sent Col. West money for his campaign. I've sent Romney none. I'll vote for Romney. Go figure...
