When he refused to offer an opinion on Biden's actions based on that tape, he revealed his clear partisan perspective.

He looks like the typical nerd that used to get continuiusly wedgied in gym class.

In fact, I wonder if something like that isn't at the root of the problem for all of these misfits.

Absolutely. All of these effeminate loser Dems completely HATE and lash out against the idea of the confident, assertive, successful, happy, heterosexual, conservative, square-jawed, Christian type.

He was about to reveal the whistleblower's name until Schiff jumped in and stopped him from revealing a name Schiff claims not to know.

Jim Jordan was all over it. "You told us you don't know the whistleblower's name but no one believes you."

Jordam missed a clear opportunity to ask, "If President Trump demanded the Ukranian President stop an investigation into Vice President Pence in order to get U.S. financial aid, would you consider that an illegal act by President Trump?"

Coming from a military family with two generations that achieved Vindmans rank was painful to see such a spectacle. Kind of makes me wonder how he was promoted.

Same way anyone else does: Right Senior Rater at the right time with the right profile.

The board has exactly 2 minutes to look at a file. They look at ORB, DA Photo and last 5 OERs. If you have at least 3 of your last 5 OERs that are "Top Block" in the Senior Rater column, you have over a 97% chance of being promoted. CSL, however, if you aren't 5/5, those chances drop to 4%.

This guy is a scapegoat. LT Col’s don’t even make coffee in DC.

But as a friend pointed out, he does have a Ranger button which shows he had some balls at one time in his life.

Schiff
Vindman
Yovanovitch

This impeachement hearing "witness" list reads like the cast of an episode of Seinfeld.

Ranger school is basically a requirement as an Infantry Lieutenant if you are physically able, or at least it used to be.

I got a top block on my separation OER. It got out and I thought the other CPTs were going to shank me.

And I was the SIGO in a Cav Squadron.

That is a courageous senior rater you had to rate you "as is" vs. "as the profile should be".

That means your SCO thought more highly of you than the majority of his staff primaries (Commanders are senior rater by the BDE CDR). It also was a significant risk, as his profile is maintained over his career, so that's three fewer MQs he can give as a Brigade Commander.

It still is. But you're gay if you wear the tab and aren't in the ranger bat.

Not sure that's true. If you wear a tab, you went to school. If you wear a scroll, you are an actual Ranger.
