The uniform is not the issue, it is appropriate for commissioned officers testifying before the Congress to wear thier uniform. What is troubling is the content. Where from the reporting, it appears that he has allowed his personal policy differences with the current president to draw him into political theater.

Yes, for a formal hearing. Not so much for giving depositions down in the basement.
This guy must be giving flag officers heart attacks. His rank might be impressive at Ft Riley, but in his Ukraine position he wasn’t much more than a horse holder. The Presidents intent on the phone call was way above his pay grade to pass judgment on. Imagine if privates could do the same with their superiors.
From what I’m seeing this guy is the military’s equivalent of a dirty cop and it’s out there for all to see. A lot more is coming out on his background. I don’t know how the brass is going to handle this but LTC V has certainly got their attention.
