Anyone who understands how the Army's promotion and evaluation system works should not be surprised by this. Convicting him under Article 88 would be nearly impossible to prove and, short of being relieved for cause or committing a crime, a senior leader is not going to be pulled from a senior staff college assignment.

Now, assuming the President gets reelected and the Senate remains in Republican control, he might not make O6 as the Senate has to confirm any list above Major. He would possibly be SELCON'ed into oblivion and retire as a Lieutenant Colonel.

No it won’t.

A Purple Heart is not some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card. He has an obligation to uphold his oath regardless of decoration.

That makes sense, considering how many patriots Obama ran off and how many sycophant leftists he promoted. I imagine you excelled under Obama's leadership.

Should have a guard behind him with a cocked and loaded revolver pointed at his head every step he takes on government property.

Short of a crime involving prison time, a government employee enjoys a life long job position. Come to think of it, many have been in prison and still get re-elected/rehired.

Three choices. Vindman is compromised and is being instructed by an out of US actor.

Well think about this a moment.
In my opinion he will not have a due course record as an infantry officer to make selection. And his record as an FAO appears to have issues as well. Competition for promotion to COL is fierce. I just do not see him making the cut.

Yeah, War College is just an excuse to hide him somewhere for nine months. Dude will never see O-6. Hell, he is going to have a tough time finding classmates to partner with. Military officers getting political is very much frowned upon. Guy will be an outcast there.
