Most excellent post, rte...

I'm sorry but Vindman, as opposed to Chief Gallagher, needs to meet the UCMJ for lying and directly disobeying the orders of those above him. He is nothing but a scumbag and needs to have his retirement taken away. He also needs to spend some time in Leavenworth.

He even admitted to GIVING ADVICE to a foreign national about policies regarding the US. Why he hasn't been charged yet is a fuggin' mystery to me...

This is from my previous post:A retired Army officer who worked with Democrat "star witness" Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman in Grafenwoher, Germany, claims Vindman "really talked up" President Barack Obama and ridiculed America and Americans in front of Russian military officers. In an eye-opening thread on Twitter last week, retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Jim Hickman said that he "verbally reprimanded" Vindman after he heard some of his derisive remarks for himself. "Do not let the uniform fool you," Hickman wrote. "He is a political activist in uniform." His series of tweets, soon after Vindman offered his anti-Trump impeachment testimony to Rep. Adam Schiff's panel, were confirmed and corroborated. The story Heine put together from the tweets ran like this: He was apologetic of American culture, laughed about Americans not being educated or worldly, & really talked up Obama & globalism to the point of (sic) uncomfortable. He would speak w/the Russian Soldiers & laugh as if at the expense of the US personnel. It was so uncomfortable & unprofessional, one of the GS [civil service]employees came & told me everything above. I walked over & sat w/in earshot of Vindman, & sure enough, all was confirmed. One comment truly struck me as odd, & it was w/respect to American's falsely thinking they're exceptional, when he said, "He [Obama] is working on that now." And he said it w/a snide 'I know a secret' look on his face. I honestly don't know what it meant, it just sounded like an odd thing to say. Regardless, after hearing him bash America a few times in front of subordinates, Russians, & GS Employees, as well as, hearing an earful about globalization, Obama's plan, etc., I'd had enough. I tapped him on the shoulder & asked him to step outside. At that point I verbally reprimanded him for his actions, & I'll leave it at that, so as not to be unprofessional myself. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...93054/another-communist-within-the-ranks

We pay these guys to kill the enemy, I damn sure don’t care if they pose for trophy pictures as long as they kill the enemy.
As the father of a young Marine I don’t want him to hesitate because he’s worried about the politically correct assessment of war before he can return fire. I’d join him in pissing on their dead corpses.....
Unfortunately even retired 1st Sgt have been brainwashed by the politically correct training that’s apparently replaced or reduced the time once spent learning how to kill. We’re reaping what has been sown since “Tailhook”. Excellent post. Thank you for raising a son who honors our nation with his service.

Rush has just discussed this incident concerning Gallagher.
The military command has become a cesspool of politically correct people,who climb the ladder on the backs of real warriors.

The PC culture really did most of it's damage then, We recovered a bit after 9/11, but the bottom fell out after 09 with obama.

In the Army we have a few values that we try hard to uphold, one being integrity. I know my view is not popular here
You can say that again! I don't see how killing someone who needs killing is doing the wrong thing.
Another accusation was that Gallagher's sniper work during his 2017 deployment became indiscriminate, reckless, and bloodthirsty. He allegedly fired his rifle far more frequently than other snipers; according to testimony, the other snipers in the platoon did not consider him a good sniper, and he took "random shots" into buildings. Other snipers said they witnessed Gallagher taking at least two militarily pointless shots, shooting and killing an unarmed old man in a white robe as well as a young girl walking with other girls. Gallagher also was reportedly known for indiscriminately spraying neighborhoods with rockets and machine gun fire with no known enemy force in the region.Convention with respect to the Laws and Customs of War on Land
This voluminous convention contains the laws to be used in all wars on land between signatories. It specifies the treatment of prisoners of war, includes the provisions of the Geneva Convention of 1864 for the treatment of the wounded, and forbids the use of poisons, the killing of enemy combatants who have surrendered, looting of a town or place, and the attack or bombardment of undefended towns or habitations. Inhabitants of occupied territories may not be forced into military service against their own country and collective punishment is forbidden. The section was ratified by all major powers mentioned above.And yet he was cleared of all this at his trial. Good Lord! those are facts man! Facts don't mean anything to a scum sucking Liberal Schit head.

rte nailed it. The Gallagher fiasco is just a symptom of of the rot in the command structure. The colleges that produce the same idiots we rail against on the fire on a daily basis, also produced the officers and civilian employees that run the military. Political Correctness and social engineering are just one more "ticket punch" on the map to promotion. The whole self serving bureaucracy is set up to feed on itself. David Hackworth made it clear long ago,,,,, if we had been listening. Promotion and perks are rewarded to the best system gamers, not brave competent leaders with personal integrity. That Lion of the Mekong Delta, John Kerry and his purple heart for a band aid on his finger boo boo amply demonstrates my point. Makes me wonder if the atrocities of Lt Wm Calley are the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

We’re reaping what has been sown since “Tailhook”. So you would be proud of your son had he killed someone that was already incapacitated and probably near death? I am not brainwashed, just read some of the things he was accused of. Posing with corpses? I could care less, but the other stuff was pretty troubling. Yes he was cleared of the worse, but the fact that his team reported his behavior is enough for me. I refuse to join in on this "group think" that you all are members of. I would rather stick to my upbringings and convictions than compromise them here for the sake of popularity on the fire.

I wonder which one I would rather be in a firefight with, Gallagher or Scoony? That's a tough one. Gallagher who is a killer or Scoony with all his morals? It is a close one but I will choose Gallagher. I want someone that would be willing to kill the enemy, with no hesitation, just as I would. A dead enemy is no longer capable of inflicting injury or death. Period.

But they make great props for selfies. WTF happened to the America where people just did their job and got on with it without acting like some ahole dancing in the endzone after a touchdown?

51 years ago I was in a unit that took part in the peaceful hamlet program. I have had pictures taken with dead enemy. I wish I hadn't.
About 5 years after getting back and 1 rainy day I was setting in our deer camp with a WWII vet, after a while he told me about killing German prisoners. He said he wished he hadn't.
It took me several days to write this so no comments please.

So you would be proud of your son had he killed bomb-maker who had already killed U.S soldiers and probably would kill again? I am brainwashed, just read some of the things he was accused of. Posing with corpses? I could care less, but the other stuff was pretty troubling,like making his millennials tow the line . Yes he was cleared of the worse, but the fact that his team reported his behavior is enough for me.I don't need any evidence,like our constitution requires. I refuse to join in on this "smart think" that you all are members of. I would rather stick to my Soros script and convictions than compromise them here for the sake of the truth on the fire. There I fixed it for you ass-hole.LOL Another Soros troll who just recently joined. How much does Soros pay you to lie about your supposed moral authority?

I think you may be right.
Scoony and Goosey have a similar ring to their names.
