This too. Trumps discussions with anyone are classified.

But, for this conversation, IDGAS.


Is it improper for a US military officer to give his opinion on the
presidents decisions in a public forum?




Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 88 - Contempt Toward Officials: “Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Dillonbuck: You are NOT paying attention - you are simply restating the liberal demonrat anti-Trump, Trump Derangement Syndrome "line" (propaganda)!
He was "removed" from his current job and re-assigned because he was leaking sensitive material! He also went outside his chain of command and various other bullschidt acts to try to damage President Donald J. Trump!
I think he should be court-martialed!
I also think LESS of YOU for either being so stupid, so naive or for trying to harm President Donald J. Trump by espousing your stupid and fallacious attack on our President!
Yeah, he should be "attacked" for what that back stabbing little bastard tried to do!
Sheesh man - pay attention or keep your mouth shut - please.
It NEVER fails to amaze me how many people are so easily fooled (like you!) by the anti-Trump, anti-American agenda put forth by the "mainstream media!
Sad and pathetic that.

He'll be "parked" somewhere until public interest wanes, then he'll retire quietly. If he's smart he'll do it before November.

One of the things that was drilled into us when I was a young 2LT going through IOBC was questioning illegal orders. My Lai was still fresh on people's minds and William Calley was still in Columbus after being released. He served as a cautionary tale to us.

With that said LTC Vindeman wasn't ordered to do anything illegal or not. His "opinion" is irrelevant. It appears he went beyond testifying just about the facts.

I don't see him moving beyond Colonel, if he makes it that far. I have seen military careers ended for less.

Is this guy eligible to retire now? Anyone know how many years he’s got in?

He should jump now if he can, while he’s still a real ‘darlin.

It will be a travesty of justice if Vindman gets a military or govt pension.

Thanks. Great to hear that.

I worked with a USAF pilot who retired after 23 years of service- - - -with the rank of Major! He also had long tours of duty in wonderful places like Johnston Island- - - - -a refueling stop in the middle of the Pacific ocean that was nothing but a runway and a barracks. His problem was alcoholism. Most every military branch has similar places to warehouse malcontents and losers, if they're not RIF'ed "For the good of the service"! His future with the Army isn't likely to be a bed of roses!

I read somewhere he's around the 23 or 24-year mark and if he doesn't promote to O-6 (Colonel) by his 27th year he's done.

Not sure how Army O-6 selection boards work, but there's no way a Navy O-6 selection board would let him into the club.

So much consternation by the left over this guys dismissal. None of these seemingly shocked people gave even a glance when the previous president purged a number of generals when he took over.
The reason this guy is the way he is is because the only thing anyone cared about Eukraine previously was how American tax money could be flushed thru there and stolen. Biden is just the tip of the Iceberg on that. Vindmon was allowed to do as he wished as long as the applecart wasn't upset. Hence his Vanity.
The previous administration watched Russia take a big piece of that country and didn't do squat... talk about Russian collusion and phoney hypocrisy it glows on display.

I'd send him to a combat zone. Only problem is a puke like that would get others killed.

I hope the rumors about war college is wrong. It would be criminal if he taught anyone anything.

I bet he would quit within a month if his forward base was shelled.

Good point, nor when they shafted Flynn.

Vindman was one of their inside men. I'm thinking we havent heard the last of him.

Same goes for Marie Yovanovitch, too.

Bottom line this is about an executive decision to have only people you trust in your inner circle. Vindman has shown he can’t be trusted.

Liberals can’t understand that because they’ve been trying to handcuff Trump from the date of his election. They expect him to conform to rules that no other President has had to. It doesn't wok like that. He’s still your President.
