Alexander S. Vindman...
”Today I officially requested retirement from the US Army, an organization I love. My family and I look forward to the next chapter of our lives.”
This was a military man who saw and did his duty in testifying at BunkerBoy’s impeachment trial.
Since then things have been made difficult for him and today he resigned.
As a country we should be ashamed that this is allowed to happen in this country.

Kyle Griffin...
”Lt. Col. Vindman in November: "Dad, I'm sitting here today in the U.S. Capitol, talking to our elected professionals, is proof that you made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the Soviet Union and come here to the USA ... Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth."
You’re not fine for telling the truth in this country anymore. trump has turned this country into a country that it’s ok to lie. A country where you are rewarded for lying.

”Where the U.S. government finds itself this week: John Bolton is on the best seller list and Lt. Col Alex Vindman is on his way out of the Army.
Sigh.”

To add to this Tucker Carlson has spoken again against SEN Tammy Duckworth, he has now called her a coward! Fox News host Tucker Carlson escalated his criticism of Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) on Tuesday night, calling her a “coward” for refusing to come on his show without a public apology. The Fox News host said his show reached out to the Illinois Democrat’s office to invite her on the program to have a “vigorous, reasoned exchange between adults.” But he said a representative “informed us that before even considering our request, we must first issue a public apology for criticizing” the senator. “Keep in mind that Tammy Duckworth is not a child, at least not technically — she is a sitting United States senator, who is often described as a hero,” he said. “Yet Duckworth is too afraid to defend her own statements on a cable TV show. What a coward.” ** “You’re not supposed to criticize Tammy Duckworth in any way because she once served in the military,” Carlson said during his monologue on his Monday show. “Most people just ignore her. But when Duckworth does speak in public, you’re reminded what a deeply silly and unimpressive person she is.” “It’s long been considered out of bounds to question a person’s patriotism. It’s a very strong charge, and we try not ever to make it. But in the face of all of this, the conclusion can’t be avoided. These people actually hate America. There’s no longer a question about that,” he said. ** more at link: thehill.com/homenews/media/506322-tucker-carlson-ratchets-up-criticism-of-duckworth-calls-her-a-cowardFF .50 starts on Duckworth FF 3:42 Hating America FF 5:09 Omar says Stopping the System of OPPRESSION, not the government... This is not a criticism of Sen Duckworth! LTC Alexander Vindman resigned from the Army which removed his name from the promotion list that was being held up in the Senate by Sen Duckworth

Between this story and the one about deporting students for taking online classes, I just want to punch something today.

Did he resign because he wasn’t on the list? Or had they not announced list yet?

Duckworth wanted assurances from the Pentagon that his name would NOT be removed after the list was approved. It has happened in the past for others. Maybe by the president, I'm not sure though! It is all dt and his GOP goons at work! Pure vindictive retaliation by the 5 time draft dodger claiming bone spurs!

Did he resign because he wasn’t on the list? Or had they not announced list yet? They were delaying release of the list he was on, thus preventing those other officers from being promoted as well. That is the real reason he resigned; he didn't want to be the cause of the delays in their careers.

Except that the President has to sign off on the promotion and the writing was on the wall. Vindman apparently wanted to leave the military on his own terms. He is 100x the man Trump is.

Jake Tapper... The New Yorker, link”New Yorker: “in a final act of revenge,” WH made clear “Trump opposed Vindman’s promotion. Senior Administration officials told Esper and Ryan McCarthy, the Secretary of the Army, to dig for misconduct that would justify blocking Vindman’s promotion.”

Lets not forget that pitiful excuse for human shit, Green Beret Eddie Gallagher,that murdered an Afghan citizen, then posed with the body. He was convicted of War crimes, and was was dishonorably discharged, then "bunker boy' pardoned him, restored his rank, and paraded him about at the State of the Union.
That's the kind of military men that 'bunker boy' admires.

He chooses to be vindictive. But then he was vicious to John McCain! dt is so very jealous of real and honorable men!

Let us think about that.............
The fact that Esper and McCarthy even thought it was a good idea to search the records, and DID IT, is disgusting! May they be shamed along with the rest of dt's peeons!!

I just want to add that Vindman has more honor, courage and integrity than the whole pack of Republicans currently in political office.

Vindman is a hero, and Duckworth should continue to keep a hold on all promotions until he gets the new rank he was due to get, regardless of his retirement.

This was a military man who saw and did his duty in testifying at BunkerBoy’s impeachment trial. Since then things have been made difficult for him and today he resigned. As a country we should be ashamed that this is allowed to happen in this country. To all, please consider signing this petition! Subject: I just signed this petition -- will you? After enduring months of “bullying and intimidation,” Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman -- who courageously testified about President Trump and the Ukraine scandal in the House’s impeachment inquiry -- is leaving the US Army. I just signed a petition thanking Vindman for his service to this country -- and I think you should, too: actionnetwork.org/petitions/thank-lt-col-vindman-for-his-service/?source=email&It is from: Common Cause 805 Fifteenth Street, NW, Suite 800 Washington, DC 20005 202.833.1200

The Hill...
”#BREAKING: Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany refuses to comment on Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman retirement: "With Col. Vindman, I'm not going to focus or comment on a former junior employee.”
She really is a first class bitch isn’t she.
