I think President Trump did the right thing. There are so many leaks and backstabbers in the administration, there is no point taking a chance. Besides, there may be more going on behind the scenes than play out on CNN.

Let's get the headline right. 'A former Commander". Nothing in the current action indicated anything other than his behavior during his current assignment. It's absolutely clear that Vindman did exactly what got him fired from his current position. He went beyond the limits of his duty to help a foreign government deal with policy he didn't agree, went outside of the chain of command and leaked information to the press.
Just another bureaucrat that thought he should be able to make policy. Apparently someone else that sleep through civics and government classes.

POTUS cannot tolerate persons of integrity as he has very little. He repeatedly rejects info and advice from the military leaders and the intel community. Just ask McMasters, John Kelly, Jim Matis to name just a few.

Commanders nor POTUS are obligated to implement anyone's advice, regardless of who they are. Advisors aid in the development of policy. Once policy is set, they then assist in the enforcement and implementation of policy. Not implementing someone's advice does not equal any shape or form of "integrity" violation.
In fact if you vehemently disagree with policy you should resign and seek other assignments in protest. Sometimes the threat of resignation is enough to change policy decisions. Not impede, disrupt or interfere with the policy decisions of the leader or person you work for. There are numerous examples of this throughout history and especially in the service.
