“dute” S/B “Duty”. The Aleutians are within 1000 miles of Russia, he speaks Russian, perfect fit!

[RooRoobird20]

Totally FAKE NEWS headline!!!!!

I saw the video, I know what PDJT said: it’s up to the military to do what they want with Vindictiveman.

[xrmusn]

Misleading headline by The Hill, Trump said it would be “up to the military.”
= = = = = = = = = =

How dare you????

Trying to ruin a story by inserting the truth and or taking quotes IN context....<: <: <:

I know a tiny bit...but only a tiny bit..about courts martial.Unless I'm mistaken if the President had,in fact,made such a comment that would be considered “undue command influence”.If I'm correct and discipline meted out could be appealed by him and,perhaps,be overturned.

[MuttTheHoople]

How about Weight Watchers?

[damper99]

...the selections were probably made last fall.

No, the board was conducted Feb 2-Feb 7 here at Ft Knox, right in the middle of impeachment. Vindmann obviously has some flag officer supporters for the board (a bunch of colonels) to place him on the list.

[eartick]

I do not see where the title matches what he said.

MEDIA LIES

[Dogbert41]

For the leaks alone, the SOB should have his security clearance immediately pulled. I am absolutely stunned that his superiors have not done this!

[jazusamo]

I couldn’t agree more!

[billorites]

You are correct. Trump implied nothing of the sort.

[McGruff]

Give him a lie detector test and watch him sweat.

[ozarkgirl]

The president’s comments on Tuesday “signaled” he was open to additional punishment for officials.

lol - they were reading his mind, he mentally ‘signalled’ that he would be open to additional punishment. It’s not what he said but that would have ruined their headline.

[wetgundog]

I’d just take the traitor, Son of a B_tch out, and shoot him. and his traitor, Son of a B_tch twin brother too.

[lurk]

In the very least, vindman’s chances of making Colonel are probably out of the question. Which means he is subject to the up-or-out rule.

[depressed in 06]

Mr. Vindman is more than he deserves. Really, speaks volumes of why jOkeass was.

[bk1000]

The fat SOB ought to be in Leavenworth.

I’m still waiting for ANY coup plotters to get perp walked.

[egfowler3]

Failure would result in bars to: promotion, reenlistment and extension, awards, anything positive that will enhance his career. He will only be able to finish his current enlistment time and get out. [Been there, done that] Not even an honorable discharge only a General.

[Paal Gulli]

Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 88 - Contempt Toward Public Officials states:

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

[DUMBGRUNT]

Or a blanket party?

With soap bars in socks.

Repeat as needed.

“”Gen. Milley has him now. I congratulate Gen. Milley. He can have him.””

That is one fearsome dude. I think the last time he smiled was at grade school graduation. In one of the events with the president a couple of weeks ago in the WH, that guy’s eyes were all over the room...never idle - always searching!
