Reuters ^ | February 14, 2020

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said on Friday there were no investigations into Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, the former National Security Council aide who testified in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial and was fired by the White House along with his twin brother.

On Tuesday, Trump said the military may consider disciplining Vindman, who provided some of the most damaging testimony during an investigation by the U.S. House of Representatives of Trump’s dealings with Ukraine.

“There’s no investigations of him,” McCarthy said during an event at the National Press Club.

Vindman is back at the Army and will be heading to a military college in the summer.

If you look at the requirements for the Army War College, you’ll discover they’re quite PT intensive. He likely won’t last long and will be ‘encouraged’ to quietly retire.

Obama purged the U.S. military of all flag officers who failed the "loyalty" test he gave them. The test included questioning the willingness to "fire upon" American citizens if given a Presidential order to do so. A catch-22. Those who responded "incorrectly" were purged.

The military PDJT thus inherited from Obama has been politicized to a dangerous degree. This is not the first time the U.S. military has seemingly ignored or otherwise publicly mocked or dismissed this President's concerns.

We should be alarmed at the continued entrenchment and monopolization of officers sympathetic to the policies of the Obama Administration within the upper ranks of the U.S. military.

“The US Army, be all you can be, and get away with”
“An Army of One, screw the rest of you.”

So another scumbag democrat walks, nothing to see here except the Army has a great example of its Officers. Probably put Vindman on their recruiting posters.

“..there were no investigations into Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman..”

Of course not...undermining the President is nothing of interest.

"This is not done yet. Lots of internal friction over this."

The check is in the mail.

I'll respect you in the morning.

I'm from your government, and I am here to help you.

It's only a cold sore.

You get this one, I'll pay next time.

My wife doesn't understand me.

Trust me, I'll take care of everything.

Of course I love you.

I am getting a divorce.

Drinking? Why, no, Officer.

I never inhaled.

It's not the money, it's the principle of the thing.

I never watch television except for PBS.

...but we can still be good friends.

She means nothing to me.

Dont worry, I can go another 20 miles when the gauge is on "empty."

I gave at the office.

Don't worry, he's never bitten anyone.

I'll call you later.

We'll release the upgrade by the end of the year.

Read my lips: no new taxes

I've never done anything like this before

Now, I'm going to tell you the truth

It's supposed to make that noise.

I *love* your new _____!

...then take a left. You can't miss it.

Yes, I did.

Don't worry, it's OK -- I'm sterile.


Some people are just extra special by design or use. Our government and military is not what it seems. People keep getting snowballed then angry, do nothing and remain in insanity expecting a different result in each election. Stop the insanity, our structure is broken.

Of course not! I guess complicity in a treasonous coup against a sitting president of the US is no longer a crime.

He did not. He said that it was up to the military to decide if they would discipline him.

“There’s no investigations of him,”

Does not mean there will never be investigations on him and to be truthful I would not doubt one bit there are investigations on both he and his brother ongoing as of now.

The investigation has been made already.

He has been dumped into the war college where he will cool his heels prior to not making colonel
