If he let politics impact his job, and disobeyed the chain of command, he loses his patriot status. Sorry. If you think he came away from that testimony looking good, I can't help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course...it was nothing...BTW Trump played politics with Vindman after his testimony and voiced an opinion his promotion. How about this...let’s just agree to disagree. Here you go...he even mentions that he should have kept military and politics separate. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wusa9.com/amp/article/news/nation-world/joint-chiefs-chairman-says-he-was-wrong-to-accompany-president-trump-on-church-walk/507-3b39a6ab-9bd4-42e6-8227-a1a79598bc68 Edited July 31, 2020 by Jimmy Snacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindman was overheard, pulled aside and was spot fucking corrected on dissing American soldiers to foreign forces. Sorry if I base my opinion on something NO SERVICE MEMBER SHOULD DO. Also, the 'high rank'.... Lt Col is basically a holding area for adequate but not suitable for promotion officers in the latter part of their career. A Lt Col will command nothing larger than a battalion. He is not, and was not, on the Colonel's list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 average promotion to colonel happens at 45. He was on the promotion list at that age. Remove the politics from the situation and the guy did his job. The president has the right to remove him and did so. He'll be fine, 25 years service will get him a hefty pension based on the rank of colonel unless he was stupid enough to not make it effective after the promotion went into place. He'll then get a 6 figure CNN contract on top of it i'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple people are on record that he didn’t ride in the ranks because he was a political hack. Simply serving doesn’t make you a patriot. Especially when you feed information to a person to try to get the president impeached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People that think their life accomplishments should be judged only by themselves or others who share the same insecurities that that cannot stand up to an upper echelon of humanity that can decide who’s got real grit and worth and who doesn’t. This is why most secretly resent veterans. This is a fact. No? My friend and your friends would be fun to watch over the extent of an evening. Mostly with my friends feeling sorry for you and yours....all while being cordial to one another. Another fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact remains most anyone would drag his dog ass off a battle field at the risk of their own lives. And rightfully threaten to kill him if he doesn't get the fuck off the dime.
