Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) announced Wednesday she will continue to hold 1,123 military promotions until she gets answers on Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s promotion, despite him choosing to retire.

Last week, Duckworth announced she would block Senate confirmation of 1,123 senior military officers until Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirmed in writing that he would not block Vindman’s promotion to colonel.

She has a buddy named Russell, and is known to visit him in the Fall to frolic in raked piles of dried leaves.

hoping the dementia puppet wins the election so they can put more homo, pansy officers in for promotion.

I realize that but being in the military requires absolute faith in the people you are serving with. Its hard enough building such bonds and trust as it is, but all the more difficult when there’s no sense of shared heritage. Moreover, its not up to us to facilitate the objectives of other people, or pave the way for their citizenship.

Its military service, not Citizenship and Immigration Services.

To the office of Senator Duckwattle.
From The office of the Secretary of Defense.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirms in writing that he would not block Vindman’s promotion to colonel.

However, since the Colonel is already retired at grade
I’m afraid there is nothing further I can do.

Etc.ETC.Etc.

Yours...Etc.

I’m curious... since Duckworth was born in Thailand, how could she possibly even qualify for Biden’s VP?

Yeah, I was thinkin’ the same thing yesterday. Does the VP slot (ahem) carry the same requirements as the P spot as far as citizenship? Or would a half chinese POC female disabled vet get a pass on that.

It sure would be enlightening to know if she and Vindman had a meeting in her office about a week or so ago.

Vindman playing games with his retirement and the promotion list. He can request a separation date as far out as a year from the date he submitted papers. Tammy gets him onto the promotion list and he withdraws his retirement papers.

Was kind of wondering the same thing. Somehow, dim also seem to wield tremendous power...laws/rules be damned?

Well, at least those whose potential advancement is being held hostage know which party to blame when they submit their ballots.

Tammy Duckworth was born in Bangkok, Thailand, the daughter of Lamai Sompornpairin and Franklin Duckworth. Her father, who died in 2005, was a veteran of the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps. Her mother is Thai Chinese.

She is NOT an Article II eligible Natural Born Citizen. She is a US citizen at birth by virtue of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, due to her US citizen father. She MAY (I do not know for sure) hold Thai citizenship as well. I know that owing to 8 years of the Obamanation, this matter is mooted in many people’s minds. However, the issue has never been adjudicated by SCOTUS and all of their previous rulings on the nature of US citizenship would seem to decide against her Article II eligibility to be POTUS.

Let us not forget that Benedict Arnold was one more than one occasion one of the greatest combat heroes of the Revolutionary War prior to his treason. It is safe to say that the pivotal Battle of Saratoga would not have ended in an American victory without him. He was severely wounded there, and lost the full use of one leg. Despite this truth, he is remembered more for his treachery than his incredible heroism.

Duckworth clearly hates the US that exists now. AND SHE IS NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY ELIGIBLE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE TOLD TO THE CONTRARY!!!

duckworthless is a back-stabbing POS who doesn’t deserve an ounce of respect for her so-called “service” - if she uses it against her fellow officers...

The Chinese probably own this POS - lock, stock and barrel.

Where does duckworthless get off denying a well-deserved boost in pay and retirement benefits to US military offciers?
