I notice that so many admirals and generals suck up to liberal democrats. I guess that is why they got the star. I went to high school with a guy who graduated from the Naval Academy and was a Top Gun fighter pilot. He was a real warrior. He retired from the Navy with the rank of captain. I asked him why he did not make admiral. He said “Because I did not want to kiss ass!”

I wonder how Lt. Col. Vindman got his ribbons? Dems are putting their liberals in the military and they seem too be putting many of them into politics as well.

Have you ever heard of “Amazing Polly”? She is terrific. She is on youtube and does investigations on deep state related topics. She has done a look up of Vindman and it appears that as you might guess appears to be connected to the CIA. Tell you friends about Amazing Polly.

Lt. Col.s (= Navy Commander) I have known have all told me that GENERALLY the only way you make full bird Col. (Navy Captain) is by being a good political butt-kisser. And they refused to do that.

Had a former Lt. Col. work for me once as a manager and later a Navy Commander (female) - best managers I ever had, bar none. Their BS sensors were off the chart good, and neither put up with a bit of it, and each superbly managed problem employees that reported to them.

Only one other subordinate was as good as them, a Civil Engineer, P.E. with MBA - but he was not as good at managing people as they were.

Saying what I did, my father made Captain in Navy Reserves - and he was NOT a butt-kisser - but excellent at following orders precisely.
