My son has a CIB. He earned it during the invasion of Iraq with the 82nd. I smell a Rat with Kernel Pudgy.

If he’s all it take to be a Lt. Col. then I should enlist as a general.

Vindman has a CIB (Combat Infantry Man’s Badge) and Ranger tab. I’m reluctant to criticize anyone’s service, let alone someone with a CIB and Tab.

*******************

I fully and completely disagree with this.

Military service, peace time or war, is not a free life time pass for bad behavior.

Vindman’s reported behavior with foreign troops, bad mouthing the US, during the Obama regime, tells all there is to be told about where this piece of crap’s alliances really are.

And it’s not with the US of A.

He’s foreign born and his demonstrated allegiances are still foreign.

Alexander Vindman has combat infantry badge, ranger tab, and Purple Heart. Those badges matter and few are in position to question his loyalties.

No sale. ANY citizen is in a position to question his loyalties. Those badges may well form part of an answer to such questions, but they are NOT the complete answer.

“The Rangers in the private groups are all calling him the fat officer or fat colonel,”

My impression he appeared fleshy to me ... certainly not chiseled. Any command presence in his features are totally absent.

From another post here at FR.

Retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Jim Hickman

https://twitter.com/Jim_Hickman13/status/1190077852680634368

I know LTC Alex Vindman from a Combined US-Russian exercise called Atlas Vision 12 in Grafenwoher, GE. He worked w/the Russian Embassy & I was assigned to the JMTC (Joint Multinational Training Command), w/in USAREUR (US Army Europe). He worked coordination w/the Russian 15th Peacekeeping Brigade, & I was in charge of all Simulations planning, as well as assisting the USAREUR Lead Planner as the Senior Military Planner.

The following account of LTC Vindman’s words & actions are completely accurate to the best of my recollection & have been corroborated by others.

We interacted on several different occasions throughout the planning cycle, but it was during the actual execution of the exercise, that we had an issue relevant to his recent testimony.

As stated earlier, Atlas Vision 12 was conducted at JMTC in the VBS2 (Virtual Battle Simulations 2) Classrooms for Simulation. Vindman, who was a Major at the time, was sitting in one of the classrooms talking to the US & Russian Soldiers, as well as the young Officers & GS Employees about America, Russia, & Obama. He was apologetic of American culture, laughed about Americans not being educated or worldly, & really talked up Obama & globalism to the point of uncomfortable. He would speak w/the Russian Soldiers & laugh as if at the expense of the US personnel. It was so uncomfortable & unprofessional, one of the GS employees came & told me everything above. I walked over & sat w/in earshot of Vindman, & sure enough, all was confirmed.

One comment truly struck me as odd, & it was w/respect to American’s falsely thinking they’re exceptional, when he said, “He [Obama] is working on that now.” And he said it w/a snide ‘I know a secret’ look on his face. I honestly don’t know what it meant, it just sounded like an odd thing to say.

Regardless, after hearing him bash America a few times in front of subordinates, Russians, & GS Employees, as well as, hearing an earful about globalization, Obama’s plan, etc…I’d had enough. I tapped him on the shoulder & asked him to step outside.

At that point I verbally reprimanded him for his actions, & I’ll leave it at that, so as not to be unprofessional myself. The bottom-line is LTC Vindman was a partisan Democrat at least as far back as 2012. So much so, junior officers & soldiers felt uncomfortable around him.

This is not your professional, field-grade officer, who has the character & integrity to do the right thing. Do not let the uniform fool you…he is a political activist in uniform. I pray our nation will drop this hate, vitriol & division, & unite as our founding fathers intended.

-----

I need to make a slight correction on my statement, it was actually Atlas Vision 13 when the incident occurred. I was thrown off, as the next year Russia invaded Crimea. Also, I was promoted to Chief, Regional, Joint & Combined Exercises Branch, USAREUR, over many exercises.

Seems LtCol. would be a prime candidate for a UCMJ Article 88 court-marshal.

UCMJ Article 88: Contempt Toward Officials. Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

No idea how that fat F# could pass Ranger school.
I wonder if he got his Tab under Obama’s ‘special rules’.
Nothing like having unqualified women and hacks in your unit, a real morale builder. Sad stuff.
