He must have heard whispers from the chain of command that his promotion was DOA. Now for the board members that put him on that promotion list and the senior civilians that approved the list and sent it to the White House. Meanwhile his retirement pay will be significantly lower the rest of his life because he did not get promoted. Very good news.

He is sort of being fired. He was on the promotion list and is retiring instead. He likely got word that his promotion was DOA. (Retired Army Officer)

Is this the Democrat who stopped doing his office job because of PTSD over giving testimony?

His “patriotism” is the equivalent of the “peaceful protests” we have seen burning cities.

““LTC Vindman’s patriotism has cost him his career.”

True, but we do not need Ukrainian patriots in OUR government.”

Well, now that he is retired, I am certain that Ukraine is still holding their position of Defense Minister open for him. He did say in his testimony that Ukraine made him an offer. Surely he did not lie about this also. We all know that Ukraine would welcome the opportunity of hiring a Russian to be their Defense Minister.

There is a poll at the end of the article in great need of freeping.

Testifying negatively against your Commander often hurts career prospects.

Just a thought.

Spreading lunchroom gossip leading to an impeachment scrap. I’d say retiring with rank and benefits is a pretty good deal.

Knowing full well that he is subject to recall, if and when his charges for sedition and treason are (hopefully) posted.

And he wont get a flashy show trial, it will be a tribunal hopefully at gitmo.

Fortunate he gets to retire peacefully in the U.S.

Benedict Arnold was forced to flee from America.

Vindman knows that any hearing related to his removal from the promotion list would not go well for him.

Lots of information has come out during the last 4-5 months related to his perjury in his testimony before the impeachment hearings.

What a little girl. Go away, you effeminate boy! Only in an Owebowma world can prissy little pukes like this get in and gain rank and work in jobs like he did.

Man wanted to retire and take Trump with him. This guy was a weasel from the getgo. Why can’t he just retire? Why does he go after Trump on the way out? Shows what he was trying to do with his impeachment testimony. It was so obvious then and is more clear now. What a weasel!
