I smell a Paul Ryan rat.
It's where agencies sent their very best people - their top men - when they can't figure out what else to do with them.
Vindman’s job was nothing more than a learning experience. Folks get rotated in and out. He is/was due to go out and that’s likely what’s happening.
Great it seems to be nothing but a nest of spies and thieves anyway...
LTC Vindman should not only be dismissed from the NSC but also from the US Army. He serves at the pleasure of the President. He attacked the President, his Commander In Chief, disgraced his service, and betrayed his country.
No need to sugarcoat it. Dismiss him for cause. It is not retaliation. It is responsibility.
Shouldn't be any prohibition against transferring Vindeman back to the AF for reassignment.
It will be viewed as retaliation to matter how you slice it.
Give him boring no where assignments until he gets the message and retires.
Boring and demeaning.
Good question. Why is he still taking up space in such a highly sensitive position in the executive branch? That traitor rat and fat disgusting excuse of an Army Officer should be on PLO duty at Camp Swampy while awaiting Courts Martial.
Firing and Replacing the Interagency Working Group ( The Star Chamber) would be a good place to start.
Head penguin herder in the Antarctic.
i am ignorant about Vindman, sorry, so no comment on him here..........
but in the larger situation....
PDJT really still needs to Drain the Swamp a whole lot, and its largely in the security, defense, Snake Department arenas where the Nazis, Commies, IslamoNazis, and other anti-American agents, moles, spies, syncophats, and traitors have (naturally) gravitated to, dug into.
Drain the Swamp, Drain the Swamp!
The mind reels...
I and other vets on FR talked about this as it was happening. At least in the officer corps, there was starting to be a "loyalty litmus" test applied to every promotion, best described as "Get Woke or Get Broke".
Testifying that he openly opposed the President to a foreign leader should have been a show stopper, not to mention leaking information.
“an effort to shrink its foreign policy bureaucracy,”
—Reduce the staff to those who haven’t vowed to “take out the President”. See if anyone is left.
If this had happened to a President Hillary, this guy would already be in Ft Marcy Park.
Worse, put him at Midway Island. You can't set a drink down without it resting on bird shit. You don't dare look up with your mouth open. Ever.
Passing the APFT does not have much to do with being over the Army weight standards. I knew a lot of guys who always passed their APFT, didn’t look as fat as this guy and were placed on the Army over weight program. Being on the overweight program disqualifies one from most favorable actions and choice assignments. My son generally scores over 300 on his APFT, is very muscular and gets taped every time he does a PT test because his weight is over the allowed limit for his height. He does pass the tape test. A 6 foot tall guy over 40 is only allowed to be 203 lbs under current Army standards. Vindman looks pretty obviously over weight to me and he doesn’t look like his neck is big enough to pass the tape.

Good point and I have should have been clearer.
The really talented rarely make lateral moves to the NSC.
...........
The campers get into the NSC, often with political agendas and grudges. They have no sense of ownership or loyalty.
..........
They are opportunists that eventually want to be lobbyists or consultants or researchers.
