Are you suggesting that a colonel cannot afford to purchase a decent suit and must resort to wearing his military uniform for such occasions?No, his attire was the equivalent of putting on your best suit for testimony before Congress.Remember Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North? Testified in dress "greens," as I recall, in a blatant attempt to come across as a super-patriot. Dress greens are a working uniform for an office environment. I don't recall anyone giving him any grief about the uniform.
Vindman, on the other hand, came in in dress BLUES, which are NOT a working uniform. His attire was the equivalent of wearing a prom dress (or a tuxedo) for a job interview.
The essence of his testimony was a rebuke to his Commander in Chief. Not cool.
