This is a clear indication that the round boy has a high level sponsor, or sponsors within the upper ranks of the Army who are seeking to keep him and have him promoted.
These scumbag general officers are also a part of the coup attempt by their tolerance of his actions and their actions to protect and promote him. The JCS Army, the SecArmy, SecDef, on up to the president can order him retired, courts martialed, or take other actions to be rid of this shit stain of an officer. He has disgraced the officer corps of all services.
Those attempting to shield him should also be immediately dealt with.
This has nothing to do with revenge and everything to do with maintaining discipline, adherence to regulations, adherence to the Constitutional oath to obey civilian authority, good order and morale.

Or this could just be a place to stuff him until they figure out what they want to do with him administratively. War college is nice, but it is not necessarily a career enhancer, as its not a leadership position and its not a forward deployed position. Its one of the cushy CONUS assignments that guys who rotate back from OCONUS can compete for.
Its been one working day since Vindman was escorted out of the NSC job and returned to the Pentagon. I'd wait a bit before I made any assumptions that he has only a smooth road ahead.
