Vindman was well respected. No black marks.
Until he gave testimony to Congress.
Then the Cult of Trump machine started the shredding process, like they did to Mattis and others.
All of a sudden he became a double agent...
Gen. Zwack: Calling Vindman a ‘double agent’ ahead of testimony is ‘reprehensible’
Vindman, a Ukraine-born American citizen and decorated Iraq War combat veteran, also became the first person to testify who listened in on the July 25 call at the heart of the Ukraine scandal. Even before his arrival, some allies of the Republican president, including Fox News host Laura Ingraham, sought to attack Vindman's integrity and questioned his loyalty to the United States.
On Fox, they accused Vindman of espionage. Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney wasn't having it.
When Vindman worked in Moscow for the US government, he served under Gen. Peter Zwack, who told The World's Carol Hills that he's deeply troubled by what he calls innuendo and slander directed at Lt. Col. Vindman.
"We worked together in an immensely sensitive time, where we all had to trust each other," Zwack said. "I trusted him with my life then, I would now, and I find preposterous the innuendo that he somehow is a double agent. That was just fear and hate-mongering and I found it reprehensible. And I think it offended me enormously, including, I think a lot of other what you would call fair-minded people, especially that have known Alex as long as we have and have seen him serve our country so well and dedicatedly."
The Army’s response to this crap:
Army Defends Lt. Col. Vindman Days after His Commander-in-Chief Called Him a 'Never Trumper'
This is is the man they are shredding:
According to his military record, Vindman's military awards include the Purple Heart, Defense Meritorious Service Medal (2nd award), Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal (4th award), Army Achievement Medal (3rd award), and many more. He's also earned the Ranger Tab, meaning he's completed one of the most challenging schools in the Army, and the Parachutist Badge.
Vindman deployed to Iraq in September 2004, and despite being wounded in combat by an improved explosive device just a month later, he finished the deployment and returned to the U.S. in September 2005.
