But is Mr Hickman “decorated” like Vindman is? And did LTC Vindman get a promotion? “Colonel Vindman”
I give them a pass on that, from what I know of the Army, it is acceptable to address a LTC as “Colonel”.
From what I can see, Vindman was an REMF. That in itself is not an epithet to me, because not everyone for a successful mission can be at the point of the spear.
But not all REMFs engage in a conspiracy to bring down a sitting President for partisan political purposes while hiding behind their questionable fruit salad. Vindman falls into THAT category.
