Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy confirmed that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman will not be investigated for his testimony during the House impeachment inquiry, despite President Donald Trump’s nudging.
Now there’s a profile in courage…be still my heart. Sorry but even if this was done with a genuine sense of propriety and fully aware his boss wouldn’t like it doesn’t absolve him from actually agreeing to work for this corrupt administration.
There is no reason to investigate or discipline Vindman. For what it is worth, John Kelly reminded Trump and everyone else that Vindman is an honorable man and patriot… He did everything right, the way he was trained and for that he should be commended. Trump is a coward and impeached forever.
Thankfully, there are people in the military who still stand up for what is right, and they will protect someone like Vindman. I suspect that Trump will continue to attack Vindman, he’s an easy target…and if this doesn’t expand into an attack on the military, or at least McCarthy, I will be surprised.
I’m still waiting for the military to turn its back on Trump…you’ll know it’s happening when veterans associations start calling for him to lose in November. Active duty soldiers can’t get involved, but veterans will speak up…so far it doesn’t seem like a general repudiation has happened, but it really should because Trump is so bad for the military even though they still think that Republicans are the “patriot party” or some nonsense like that.
Investigate what? Honesty? Upholding his sworn oath to defend the constitution? Refusal to commit a crime? They should promote the guy and give him a medal.
He’s been busy with criticizing Joe Manchin and trying to rile up the Bernie Bros about how rigged the Democrat primary system is against Sanders, the not-a-Democrat.
Over 100 soldiers have now been diagnosed with acute brain trauma due to the missile attack on their base, Iranian retaliation for Trump’s assassination of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani . And Trump has TWICE asserted a very few soldiers are suffering from minor headaches.
Why the hell the feared coup hasn’t already occurred is a mystery.

“We’re just gonna go straight to the court martial.”
