Frankly I saw Vindman as a complete joke and a puppet of the media and "deep state" players. As I see it, he is lucky he was allowed to retire. As I watched him during the hearings I was appalled by his actions and testimony. If I were to write his OER, I would have nailed him for lack of judgement and the fact he embarrassed the office he served.

It appeared this guy was Pandering to the deep state for personal gain, his actions were agenda driven and I suspect he will resurface on the propaganda team or elsewhere

Tempest in a teapot, if you ask me.
The whole episode was overblown by zealous partisans who were smarting from the ignominy of the Mueller Report.

He belongs in Leavenworth.
Background on Vindman:
He’s tied to Ukrainian arms dealers, Ukrainian oil, and the Atlantic Council.
He’s connected to Obama’s Russian ambassador and Fusion GPS’s Glenn Simpson.
He tried to tamper with the transcript of the phone call between President Trump and the Ukrainian President.
He’s in violation of the leaking statute that is 18 USC 798.
He claims Trump’s phone call was “biased”, but not Biden’s actual bribery or his own convoluted logic.
The following is a first-person account of Vindman’s penchant for being a dishonorable leftwing tool.

Lt. Col. Jim Hickman stated that he had to reprimand Vindman for denigrating the USA in front of Russian officials.
Vindman was part of an attempted coup d'etat against a duly elected President.
He should have been prosecuted.

I enjoyed reading all the well written posts on Vindman. My suspicion he was a shit bird appears correct.

He was right. Not only that be Vindman did not make anything political; he was politicized by those who support politicians so *blindly* they’d do anything to discredit anyone who dare stand for the Constitution.

Wrong...he was politically motivated and in my own humble opinion deserved UCMJ for slandering his CIC. Many of you may say nay but I feel he went against his own oath to the CIC that he swore to when signing his contract. He repeatedly said it was hearsay and that HE did not directly hear it. In that case he was dead wrong and an embarrassment to the Army. Sure I know the good ol boy system took care of him. But had he been a senior enlisted would the outcome been the same? No he would have been reduced and then retired. As far as I see it he lied under oath and did so on a televised event while wearing his uniform. A disgrace plain and simple. Yes I am a Republican but I also have not lost sleep over President Trump losing other than that my party lost. His actions at the end were embarrassing to the great office of the Republic he held. But he was the sitting President and the LTC betrayed him.

Didn’t Gen Mcchrystal get relieved for not agreeing with Obama?

Our oath is to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution. Our responsibility is to do that which is right, which at time times cause us to take a sabot round through the chest. LTC Vindman chose the 'hard right' over the 'easy wrong.' He could have said nothing when he observed an incident that was grossly wrong, bur rather he showed the qualities that we should expect from a leader. He did what I hope the rest of us would do, he put country before self.

I can't imagine a LTC challenging the President of the United States. He used his uniform as a prop which made it even worse since he normally wore a civilian suit to his office every day. Good riddance. But, but, but, I fully expect that if Biden wins, Vindman will be back and get his promotion to O-6. He will be rewarded for being the Democrat's martyr.
