Alexander Vindman is a US Amry Infantry Officer; SALUTE!

[Bush92]

1.) Air Force...complete pussies.
2.) Navy...they got the SEALS...otherwise complete pussies.
3.) Army...generic.
4.) Marine Corps...traditions being eroded by liberal pussies.
5.) Coast Guard...drug interdiction...rescuers...otherwise complete pussies.
6.) American society in general...complete pussies. Evidence? Elected Obama twice.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Let me ask you Trump Humpers a question, which man would you say has more honor, integrity and honesty. Vidman or Trump?

I'm not a Trump humper, but I can tell you whose job it is to oversee foreign policy. Since it's not the job of, as Vindman seems to think, the ''consensus views of the interagency”, that leaves only the President.

Yea you're a Trump Humper and it's the job of the POTUS to look out for national interest not his own personal gain.

Literally nothing that he has done has not been in the U.S. Interst .
Which coincides with his personal interest
And mine.
And yours if you were an American loving person.

Only an idiot believes that.

You hate the USA -
I get that.

Yea that's why I am a disabled vet, idiot.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

No it is his job to report shaky dealings, he did that.

Not through his chain, he didn't.

You guys condemn Trump for what you claim are illegal dealings -- but you forgive and rationalize any wrongdoing by liberals.

What part of the chain did he overstep?

Here's the transcript of his statement.

The meeting proceeded well until the Ukrainians broached the subject of a meeting
between the two presidents. The Ukrainians saw this meeting as critically
important in order to solidify the support of their most important international
partner. Amb. Sondland started to speak about Ukraine delivering specific
investigations in order to secure the meeting with the President, at which time
Ambassador Bolton cut the meeting short.
Following this meeting, there was a scheduled debriefing during which Amb.
Sondland emphasized the importance that Ukraine deliver the investigations into
the 2016 election, the Bidens, and Burisma. I stated to Amb. Sondland that his
statements were inappropriate, that the request to investigate Biden and his son
had nothing to do with national security, and that such investigations were not
something the NSC was going to get involved in or push. Dr. Hill then entered the
room and asserted to Amb. Sondland that his statements were inappropriate.
Following the debriefing meeting, I reported my concerns to the NSC’s lead
counsel.
​

First off, it wasn't his place to dictate foreign policy to Ambassador Sondland. Second, he reported his concerns not to his superiors, but to NSC's lawyer.

After the call in question:

I realized that if Ukraine pursued an
investigation into the Bidens and Burisma, it would likely be interpreted as a
partisan play which would undoubtedly result in Ukraine losing the bipartisan
support it has thus far maintained. This would all undermine U.S. national security.
Following the call, I again reported my concerns to NSC’s lead counsel.​

So...again, he didn't report to his chain of command. And again, he's making judgement calls beyond his pay grade.

According to his opening statement, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the Ukraine expert at the NSC has been in the U.S. Army for more than two decades. As an infantry officer, he served multiple overseas tours, including South Korea and Germany, and a deployment to Iraq for combat operations. He was wounded in an IED attack in Iraq, and was awarded a Purple Heart.

Since 2008, he has been a Foreign Area Officer specializing in Eurasia. He previously served at the United States’ embassies in Kiev, Ukraine and Moscow, Russia. He also served as a politico-military affairs officer for Russia for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs . In July 2018, he joined the National Security Council.

"I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. government's support of Ukraine," Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman said in his opening statement. https://n.pr/2BR6B9p

No, Vindman Didn't Violate The Chain Of Command—He Followed WH Lawyer's Orders

If you paid even a little attention you would know that he did not.

You're right, he did not break the chain of command.

Vindman was unaware that Joe Biden used $1 billion in US aid to blackmail Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden's former employer. So, Vindman had no clue what Trump was referring to when he mentioned Biden and the prosecutor on that phone call.

Instead of asking his superiors to clarify what Trump was talking about, he just made up his own nefarious motives and attached them to Trump. Then Vindman set about gossiping and spreading false rumors behind Trumps back

LC Vindman came up the hard way going infantry.

I dont care what he says about Trump, he is a real man and worthy of our respect.

Alexander Vindman - Wikipedia

After graduating from State University of New York at Binghamton in 1998, Vindman joined the United States Army and became a career Army officer.[3] He completed the Infantry Officer Basic Course (IOBC) at Fort Benning in 1999 and deployed the next year to South Korea, where he commanded infantry and an anti-armor platoon.[3] In addition to overseas deployments to South Korea and Germany, Vindman is a combat veteran.[3] He was deployed to Iraq to take part in the Iraq War from September 2004 to September 2005.[2] In October 2004,[2] he sustained an injury from a roadside bomb in Iraq, for which he received a Purple Heart.[3] He was promoted to the rank of major in 2008,[6] and to lieutenant colonel in September 2015.[7]

During his Army career, Vindman earned the Ranger Tab, Combat Infantryman Badge, Expert Infantryman Badge and Parachutist Badge, as well as four Army Commendation Medals and two Defense Meritorious Service Medals.[2]

Beginning in 2008, Vindman became a Foreign Area Officer specializing in Eurasia. In this capacity he served in the U.S. embassies in Kiev, Ukraine, and Moscow, Russia. Returning to Washington, D.C. he was then a politico-military affairs officer focused on Russia for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
​

Those above qualifications are not easy to come by, even for kiss ass officers.

Vindman is a vacuous piece of deep-state crap. But I do honor the uniform.

When you salute an officer, you are saluting the uniform and rank, not necessarily the person wearing it.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight --- if you see the company president extorting money the thing to do is go to the vice president and tell him, let him give you that rehearsed sincere look and go "we'll investigate this". Because there's no more logical place to take your complaint than the next sucker-up in the chain of command. What a great plan.
