LTC Vindman retires, was he right or wrong? What about the second and third order effects?
Aside from the usually partisan (and superficial) comments regarding LTC (R) Vindman, is there a lesson to be learned here? We had a sitting US senator holding up promotion for 1000 senior officers to allow for his promotion. Whistleblowing. Polarizing politics and the politicalization of the military seems to be here for the duration. While the retired could easily just take pot shots from Ft. Living Room, here's my question. How can currently serving members truly remain apolitical? In a world where one callus post can end your career, use some judgment if you elect to weigh in. Was he right? Would you have done the same? Was he dead wrong?

The president at the time of Lc was so far out of touch with reality it is not funny. Military rules say to follow your last command first no matter how much you disagree with it.

Could you imagine if that had been a senior NCO? He would have been court martialed.

A fat Ukrainian colonel took it upon himself to permanently poison American foreign relations with the worlds largest nuclear power, while triggering the impeachment of the Commander-in-Chief, all while brazenly lying about his role in the drama, while under oath. Given the damage he has caused the United States, I dont think it would be out of bounds to demand his execution.

I think he was 100% wrong, if that would have been a 2nd or 1st LT, let alone an E5 or 6, would they have been used to teach a lesson or made an example of? In my opinion, I think they would have. But of course that's just my opinion. Thanks.

How is this even a question? Eavesdrop on your leadership to conversations that didn’t concern you, were above your pay grade then leak it to the press. Anyone other than this clown would feel the full weight of UCMJ, busted down, dishonorably discharged and then spent a few years in Leavenworth
