Why Trump Was Absolutely Right To Boot Alex Vindman

There is another Vindman brother, Leonid, who has been neck-deep in international financial intrigue and trafficking in strategic goods. He reportedly figured prominently in a long-running clandestine business that nearly blew up Italian bank UniCredit with a $1.3 billion US fine. Investigative reporter George Webb has tied him (and Sondland) to the bunch of encrypted Blackberrys passed around by Strzok, Schiff, Huma, Hunter Biden and others involved in laundering vast sums through Ukraine for Deep-State arms and uranium deals that generated huge kickbacks to top-level US political figures. It was the need to protect that criminality from exposure, Webb reasons, which drove the whole Crossfire Hurricane effort against Trump.

I am a Retired Army Officer and if in my day an Officer did what Vindman did, he would have been summarily Courts Martialed and tossed out of the Army.

Don't be so sure about that. He is certainly guilty of multiple offenses that could result in dismissal from the service, but that doesn't mean that he will end up like that.

He’s (and all other military) are “detailed” to the NSC from their parent service—just like someone from the Department of Whatever is “detailed” to the White House. When the need for their being there no longer exists, they are “detailed” back to their original office or department, with a personnel report or review of what they did while there (good or poor).

Now...the Presidential Service Badge (PSB), which is typically awarded after one year’s honorable service to members of the military in these positions, could be rescinded and revoked by President Trump.
