You still don't get it. It is NOT up to Vindman to determine the will of the people. He should not be lauded for violating his oath and the law.

Vindman did nothing of the sort. He saw something he felt was wrong and alerted the right people. When subpoenaed, he appeared and testified honestly. He didn’t opine in whether Trump should be impeached or removed, nor was that his role.

Vindman is actually an infantry officer. But I definitely think he set his career back by taking a special assignment in DC. But guys like him are in short supply. His language and cultural knowledge make him a serious anomaly in the Army.

He will be reassigned to a radar tower in Antarctica. 10 months of winter per year and snowed in for 8 of them. It would be a damn shame if the supply ship didn't make it in and he starved to death.

Can you guys ever say anything without a put down? Literally did you not learn by the 3rd grade that it is a sign of weakness? Kind of pathetic really.

Ok, why didn't people step up and call out Biden back then? It was Obama's intervention in the Ukraine situation that made Putin furious. The reason the Democrats believe Russians are involved with hacking because ever since Obama got involved with Ukraine, Putin had vowed to hit back at the Democrats.
