Imagine some Lieutenant colonel dictating to any other President in history what America's policy should be with regards to a foreign government. Credible news organizations would ridicule and belittle such an individual... America's left wing media called this fool a hero... Their hero maybe.

Just look at Ambassador Yovanovich’s statement today. She clearly thinks it is improper for the President to set foreign policy. That was her job.

Imagine some Lieutenant colonel dictating to President Clinton what America’s policy should be with regards to a foreign government.

He would be on Clinton’s Dead Enemy’s list.

This is how Muammar Khadafy got started... as a Lt. Colonel who simply took over...

LTC Terry Lakin went to jail simply for questioning the validity of an order.

Last I looked “insubordination” is legitimate cause to convene a general court martial.

Uh, it happened and was sanctioned by the most corrupt and inept administration in the country’s history.

Let’s make sure it does not happen again.
Democrats are the enemy.
Of the country.
Period.

And yet, congress threw the book at Ollie North, as though a Marine LTC was making policy about Iran Contra. At the time, my dad commented that anybody who truly believed North was the driving force behind those decisions had no clue how the military works.

We’ve got everything else.

They both should be reassigned to some far-away turd-world $hit hole, far from any liberal media.

Let them dine on goat hoof soup until they retire.

...even as President Trump seemed to indicate that the military would “look into” whether to take disciplinary action against the Army officer.

...

Nonetheless, O’Brien then seemed to suggest that the Vindman brothers were engaged in an effort to “dictate” policy to Trump.

"Investigative Journalism" at its finest.

Anyone whom the American Left regards as a hero probably isn’t. His heroic status becomes at least suspect.

But, Gen. Kelly just gave a speech where he states in his opinion Vindman (oh say can you see...)did absolutely nothing wrong.
In fact, Kelly states Vindman did everything properly. Then, he went on to say that he did everything he could to reign in President Trump concerning practically every policy position the president has on everything.
In so doing he is revealing himself to be a Deep State tool.

Too bad Burt Lancaster passed away.

He could have played Vindman in the Movie.

The only time the Libs and the media go against a bureaucrat and in favor of the chief executive is when the chief executive is one of their own and the bureaucrat is a Conservative. When the bureaucrat is a Conservative all the Libs and the media do is to challenge “how dare the bureaucrat try to dictate policy to the President, or dare object to the President’s policy”.

and yet the Libs want exactly that - to remove almost all powers of the Presidency and turn it into a figurehead controlled by a House designed intentionally to be chaotic from electing members very two years.
