Stop being stupid. J/k, I know you can't, so let me explain the real world to you.
Ant, have you ever served in the military as an officer?
If you haven't, you can STFU now because you have nothing to say - you know NOTHING.
The military is very clear on its opposition to its members participating in politics. Ever notice how the Joint Chiefs of Staff remain stoic during their Commander and Chief's SOTU Speech and / or at other events?
Vindman, again - known for circumventing the chain of command (a MASSIVE 'no-no') and for being untrustworthy by his fellow Rangers - stepped into the public spotlight with absolutely NOTHING to say in his part in the coup attempt against his Commander and Chief / President.
He witnessed nothing.
He admitted he had no personal 1st-hand account information.
He committed career suicide for NOTHING.
Getting relieved of duty and re-assigned because of a massive F*-UP is no small thing. When you get to his rank, it's HUGE. 'Betraying' your Commander and Chief is MASSIVE.
Vindman was not fired.....'Fired' is a term used by civilians, referring to the loss of a
JOB, after which you can just go find another one. Vindman just sacrificed his own
CAREER. Oh, as you can see, Vindman was re-assigned, given a new duty location / job....somewhere he can do his time / mark time UNTIL HE RETIRES / QUITS. He will NEVER get promoted again - again, 'Betraying' your Commander and Chief is MASSIVE, an action you never recover from.
He has been identified as an 'Anti-Trump Liberal Leaning
ASSASSIN'...a FAILED Anti-Trump Liberal-Leaning Assassin. He just proved his fellow Rangers - who have publicly declared he is a liar, a 'chow thief', NOT a team player, and someone who is NOT trustworthy - as being 100% correct about him.
Claiming his career is NOT over after that being said tells me you don't know a damn thing about the military. Being a liar, 'show-thief' (demonstrating all about self), NOT a team player, and being un-trustworthy are not valued qualities in the Military. Politics? Absolutely. Military? NO!
No military member will ever trust him enough to follow him - they will obey his rank, but not HIM.
No Commander will ever trust him again. Without trust of your fellow soldiers you have nothing, you have no ability to lead, you are nothing.
THIS was brought about by VINDMAN.
The 'assassin' took his shot...and missed...and was immediately removed form a trusted position, re-assigned. He will lead NOTHING now. As IO said, he will just be MARKING TIME.
