SFC Kelly Fuerhoff I watched his testimony. I can say, I feel, he was NOT TOTALLY TRUTHFUL...and I believe and feel he is definitely a never Trumper.

If I'm not totally missing the point here, it seems the implications are that Vindman is under a physical threat (i.e., you don't need "security assistance" from a Twitter account). What I've been unable to find is any instance where the White House or the President has made any such threat. It does seem the White House has "tweeted" disparaging things about Vindman's superior's opinions of him... but again, nothing indicating violence or any physical "threat". The Lieutenant Colonel voicing the concerns of his father over his testimony, is again, not evidence of the same.
This relatively subordinate officer is voluntarily participating in an attempt to remove the President from office. He's been touted as a warrior... and we're supposed to believe he is "afraid" of the White House claiming he's being influenced by partisan politics? No, I think if there's any grist to mill here, it's that he's become a controversial public figure, and it's a reasonable precaution to look to the physical safety of he and his family-and good on the Army for doing so.

SP5 Dennis Loberger - I agree completely; that's somewhat (and in part) the point I was making.

LCDR Joshua Gillespie - Have you ever been attacked by a large government organization? Have you lost a job due to a corrupt organization and became financially destitute? Have you ever had to hire an expensive attorney when you were broke? It can completely rock your world. So answer me that question.

MAJ Ken Landgren - I thought we agreed to let this one go. Alright; I'll answer that question- I haven't been "attacked" by a large government organization (I've also not voluntarily come forward to suggest the CIC is guilty of wrong doing, either). However, I have lost not only a "job", but lifelong dreams, when the Navy... for very obscure reasons (in my opinion), let me go prematurely. That event did leave me "destitute"; and in the subsequent years of hard work, low pay, humiliation at having "failed", and the accompanying frustration, fear, and self-loathing... I did learn something; actions have consequences. My final words on this subject are this: If LTC Vindman is acting upon his conscience (as I believe he very well may be), and if those actions lead to, or aide in the impeachment of the President... then so be it. If anyone, at any level, threatens this man or his family with physical harm or illegal retribution... I say let the full force of the law judge them. However, one should not expect to come forward with what is arguably their "opinion" on matters involving people at the highest level of government, and not be challenged. Thank you for a good argument.

Well the Army is providing protection for him and his family. That is fact, not an opinion.

"Trump Cult".....your bias is incomprehensible to render an intellectually factual statement and you are saying "you don't care what party you align with"! What a joke. If you want to make a statement about security, do it without involving your political bias. Maybe more Brothers would take credence in some factual information you are bringing to the table!
