Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly said at an event at Drew University on Wednesday that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman did the right thing when he raised concerns about President Donald Trump's call to the Ukrainian president in late July, according to a report in The Atlantic.

Swamper with stars. Effum!
Angling for a guest commintator spot for big bucks.
Mitchell died in 1936!
“William Lendrum Mitchell (December 29, 1879 – February 19, 1936) was a United States Army general who is regarded as the father of the United States Air Force.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mitchell
Those were B25 Mitchell medium bombers (Named in honor of Mitchell) that flew off the Hornet that conducted Doolittle’s Tokyo raid.
See post #40.
Leftist generals are indeed revolting.
Their TDS is outing them as the un-patriots they are.
I hope the FFWs and AmVets where such traitors live will be vocal about those aholes.
“If Kelly had worked for Zero and then done something like this CNN would be accusing Kelly of insubordination...”
Or found dead from a “heart attack”, killed in a car “accident”, be the only one killed in a plane crash, or killed in a robbery “gone wrong”.
All of the fag officers promoted by the Kenyanesian Usurper need to be retired or cashiered.
This is DNCNN.
“Show me a female who can lead an Infantry platoon in the Marines or Army”
Heck, show me fifty women that can do real, full day man’s work in foundries, power grids, firefighting, roadway tree trimming, semi-tractor repair, etc.
I’ve work-traveled for decades, do many an early morning breakfast in a motel. I see who’s up at 6 am in work gear to tackle another long day of hard work far from home. Guess who it’s not...
If Vindman really had concerns about the call, he should have raised it within his chain-of-command (either military or civilian), NOT leaked the SECRET information to some guy he knew in the CIA. What he had was a policy difference with the POTUS (also known as Commander in Chief), so he leaked it. And he didn't even have the guts to leak it himself, he leaked it to someone he knew would leak it elsewhere.
Vindman needs to be brought up on charges of insubordination and misuse of classified information (even if his friend in the CIA had the clearance, he didn't have the need-to-know).
Agree. Vindman trashed American soldiers plus America to the Russian soldiers/officers in Germany during training exercises.
This punk has no BSM service. A PH on an officer with no BSM
service, no BSM V, or no SS or higher looks STRANGE. This puke
wears his crossed rifles/infantry, yet; he has led no one in combat.
Exactly. I have never seen a female roofer or any construction
type. Back in the late 70’s one owned a plumbing business. I never saw her install anything.
Kelly is a civilian. His last job was White House Chief of Staff, a civilian job. He was a general once upon a time, but not anymore. When you take off your uniform, you can behave like any other civilian, and they do. Many of the comments on this thread are very confused about this fact.
“When you take off your uniform, you can behave like any other civilian, and they do.”
And your oath comes off with the uniform?
Looks like a revolt of the retired generals. The active duty generals and admirals are keeping their mouths shut.
Fire every single one of the sonsabitches who’ve forgotten/ignored who the boss is.
Just take your pension and GTFO !
Officers are politicians with ornaments on their jackets.
Let them speak out. Then Trump can fire them.
We voted for Trump- he is their commander period. This goes for all the Govt employees.
Trump needs to fire more of the embedded opposition.
