I was an officer for 23 years - and the fact that he was wearing his blues instead of his green service dress uniform - and that was clearly over weight stood out to me.
Odd, to say the least.

Odd to the point of orchestrated
His wearing a uniform is wrong whether it be blues or green service. To me, he is thumbing his nose at the US Army and the USA. The position he “serves in” requires suit and tie.
The uniform stunt is uncalled for and in bad taste.
All of my military buddies agree that the show is “not about him or the Army. Dress properly.”
The Army discontinued the green service uniform in 2015. It was replaced with the blue Army Service Uniform (ASU). They are planning to switch to a new version of the “pinks and greens” next year (2020).
His pudgy face made this former Lt Col want to punch him!
He doesn’t look like he could fight his way out of a wet paper bag. I hope the military doesn’t have a lot of men like this clown in its ranks. He wore the uniform because he looks like a clown without it. He even looks like one in uniform but it serves as a distraction.
The Army Green uniform is no longer worn. The Army blue uniform is now the Class A uniform.
The army did away with the green class A uniform about eight years ago... The class A now is about the equivalent of the service dress blues, which are being phased out in favor of the new “old” pinks and greens...
Times have changed.
Seems to be the SMAs have too little to do other than make troops but new uniforms....
Vindeman indeed looked pudgy. Not the infantry officer I would pick to work in the NSC. Wonder who vetted him, being almost a Ukrainian himself....
What was up with the blue and yellow hat band?
It did make me curious, not that my suspicion wasn't borne out:
The American Security Project Board Members include:
Almost all of them are Rats, especially the obvious ones. That was their counterbalancing voice in the article, the guy Zeller.
I do understand why Lt. Col. Vindman would wear his uniform for Congressional testimony. However, I agree that he should have worn his green service dress uniform, not his dress blues, to keep the temperature down somewhat.
