Vindman describes 'campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation' by Trump, allies in op-ed
By J. Edward Moreno - 08/01/20 05:49 PM EDT
Former National Security Council (NSC) member Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman said that his retirement in July was due to “a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation by President Trump and his allies†that hampered the progression of his military career.
“This experience has been painful, but I am not alone in this ignominious fate,†Vindman wrote in a Washington Post op-ed published Saturday.
“The circumstances of my departure might have been more public, yet they are little different from those of dozens of other lifelong public servants who have left this administration with their integrity intact but their careers irreparably harmed,†he continued.
Vindman announced last month that he would be retiring from the military, after his attorney said "it has been made clear that his future within the institution he has dutifully served will forever be limited," in a statement.

Lying Schiff’s Star Witness Alexander Vindman Tied to Ukrainian Arms Dealers, Ukrainian Oil and Gas and the Atlantic Council
Joe Hoft by Joe Hoft October 31, 2019
We just keep getting more and more pieces to the corrupt puzzle involving the Democrats, the Deep State, foreign actors and the media. Here’s some more about Alexander Vindman, Lying Adam Schiff’s start witness two days ago.
We reported yesterday that Yesterday Colonel Alexander Vindman was a witness in Adam Schiff’s basement chamber of secrets. During questioning on Tuesday Colonel Vindman admitted he shared the read-outs of President Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Zelenzky with several other secret operatives.
When Rep. Jim Jordan asked him who he shared the readouts with — Rep. Adam Schiff SHUT DOWN the questioning!

Close. A book deal with guaranteed sales. Is this when I'm supposed to make a "cluck-cluck" noise with my tongue and shake my head back and forth, knowingly?

Vindman, Russian born;
-----------------------------
I know LTC Alex Vindman from a Combined US-Russian exercise called Atlas Vision 12 in Grafenwoher, GE.
He worked w/the Russian Embassy & I was assigned to the JMTC (Joint Multinational Training Command), w/in USAREUR (US Army Europe). He worked coordination w/the Russian 15th Peacekeeping Brigade, & I was in charge of all Simulations planning, as well as assisting the USAREUR Lead Planner as the Senior Military Planner.
The following account of LTC Vindman’s words & actions are completely accurate to the best of my recollection & have been corroborated by others.
We interacted on several different occasions throughout the planning cycle, but it was during the actual execution of the exercise, that we had an issue relevant to his recent testimony.
As stated earlier, Atlas Vision 12 was conducted at JMTC in the VBS2 (Virtual Battle Simulations 2) Classrooms for Simulation. Vindman, who was a Major at the time, was sitting in one of the classrooms talking to the US & Russian Soldiers, as well as the young Officers & GS Employees about America, Russia, & Obama.
He was apologetic of American culture, laughed about Americans not being educated or worldly, & really talked up Obama & globalism to the point of uncomfortable.
He would speak w/the Russian Soldiers & laugh as if at the expense of the US personnel. It was so uncomfortable & unprofessional, one of the GS employees came & told me everything above. I walked over & sat w/in earshot of Vindman, & sure enough, all was confirmed.
One comment truly struck me as odd, & it was w/respect to American’s falsely thinking they’re exceptional, when he said, “He [Obama] is working on that now.†And he said it w/a snide ‘I know a secret’ look on his face. I honestly don’t know what it meant, it just sounded like an odd thing to say.
Regardless, after hearing him bash America a few times in front of subordinates, Russians, & GS Employees, as well as, hearing an earful about globalization, Obama’s plan, etc…I’d had enough. I tapped him on the shoulder & asked him to step outside.
At that point I verbally reprimanded him for his actions, & I’ll leave it at that, so as not to be unprofessional myself. The bottom-line is LTC Vindman was a partisan Democrat at least as far back as 2012. So much so, junior officers & soldiers felt uncomfortable around him.
This is not your professional, field-grade officer, who has the character & integrity to do the right thing. Do not let the uniform fool you…he is a political activist in uniform. I pray our nation will drop this hate, vitriol & division, & unite as our founding fathers intended
======================================
I need to make a slight correction on my statement, it was actually Atlas Vision 13 when the incident occurred. I was thrown off, as the next year Russia invaded Crimea. Also, I was promoted to Chief, Regional, Joint & Combined Exercises Branch, USAREUR, over many exercises.

Vindman's 15 minutes of fame has expired in disgrace to the uniform. If he wants more attention, let it be in a court-martial.

Best I could tell the only job he was really qualified for was asking peopled if they wanted fries with their order.

His twin brother, Yevgeny, should be sharing a cell with him in Leavenworth. He leaked the contents of Bolton's book (that he was supposed to be reviewing for National Security), in an effort to convince Senate Republicans to allow witness testimony in the Impeachment trial.

You are right. It was even a different army than I served in when I was working with them as a paid consultant in the 90's. PC was everywhere.

Ranks on the commissioned as well as the non commissioned side have always been about politics and knowing someone to help you get a leg up.
That's as old as our army. It's only been (with rare instances in the past) since Clinton that we've really seen senior officers not try to hide their political bias.
