Trumpman? Super hero time?
Citing a military man's resume and/or fame is always a two-edged sword. But since you asked:
One picks a resume and cheers or boos based on a political slant, of which there are MORE than two. One could consider Lt. Gen Flynn who was crushed by the whole Trump impeachment event, or one of those above who was hailed for a while by some as the whistle-blower against President Trump."Ensconced in the secure hearing rooms of the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in a midnight-blue dress uniform, a bevy of ribbons pinned to his chest, Colonel Vindman testified privately from morning until night.

"During his time in uniform, Vindman has earned the Ranger Tab, which signifies the completion of one of the toughest schools in the Army, as well as the Parachutist Badge, earned after the completion of Army Airborne School, and the Expert Infantryman Badge, which denotes mastery of critical infantry tasks. In September 2004, he deployed to Iraq and was wounded in combat just a month later by an improvised explosive device, per Army Times. He finished the deployment and returned to the United States in September 2005.

President Trump, being inaugurated soon, is under great pressure to fill his cabinet and announce advisors. Gen. Kellogg would have done well -- as the point man for the Ukraine negotiations for an incoming administration -- to have kept his rhetorical "powder dry," rather than promoting other views. But then Petraeus, Hodges and a whole bunch of other generals have been very prominent in knowing all the answers to the world's geopolitical challenges.
