Will he have to return the costume he wore to the impeachment circus hearings?

Only 1 out of 4 Ltcs make Col.

Even Cols and Genls who dislike Trump wouldn’t want this treacherous snake in their command.

No offense meant towards snakes.

retiring from the military over alleged “bullying” and “retaliation” by the president, his lawyer said

What a pussy. Guys like that do not belong in the Army.

Will he be promoted to Brig Gen in China if Biden wins?

No. In China an O-6, the rank above Colonel, is Da xiao, or Senior Colonel. So in the Chinese Army he could be promoted twice, and would still be a Colonel.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth has been f***ing with the promotions or pensions of many officers if Vindman wasn’t promoted.

So what’s her reaction now?:

YOUR words are worth repeating. That sniveling Duckworth using her horrible loss during combat as a weapon against reality. “Walk on my legs” my fanny! How about SHE walk in TRUMP’s shoes for one day, taking slings and arrows 24/7.

Yes indeed, she was holding everything up. Just like NFL creeps wanting good old KapperNick to be signed.

Disgusting both.

What’s Duckworth going to do now? Demand he be advanced to Colonel on the retirement rolls?

Kind of a slap in the face to her; she put it out there for him and he walks away.

First, the left called him a hero and he became a useful idiot for them. Now he wants to be a victim. He is a dumb butt fat slob.

Vindman has been selected for the War College level of schooling and for promotion to Colonel (O-6). Accepting either of these is accompanied by an additional service obligation. By retiring now, he can take a job at one of the Beltway think tanks with a big salary increase in addition to his retirement pay. He will be a big hero among the Leftist crowd.

This has been his plan all along and he will be on the gravy train. He has been a political operative for years, and leaked on the details of the phone call to set himself up for his next career path.

Who is he kidding? After his performance, I doubt anyone else in uniform wanted to work with him, or for him. Hopefully he’s been shunned, and it forced his hand...or he was told it would be in his best interest to retire as a Lt. Colonel while he can.

This takes care of Tammy Duckworth. And of course Vindman will write a book. Can he get it done before the election? Publishers don’t care anymore if books are published with classified info in them.
