    I guess I can relate! I wouldn't "Really" know why he or any military man would wear his uniform to a any non military function if they didn't have to, that said I assume you must, correct.. I also don't feel foolish or uninformed for the simply fact someone authored the article to explain why he was inept! I'm sure it wasn't authored with just Trump and I in mind, clearly there was a large group of people unknowing that found the article informing..

    How many times did he dodge the draft?

    Of course he has no idea about military decorum or rule, he doesn't even understand basic decorum or rule...

    The msm goes on and on about the magnificent resumes of the people testifying. But they’re not connecting any dots, or making the case for impeachment.

    Like Mueller, this is a dud.

    So if you attend a picnic at the beach in southern Cali in August do you wear your uniform or are you provided a military style swim suit?

    So? How many people in the US know that military members are supposed to use dress uniform while testifying before congress? I'd be surprised if even half do.

    This is another nothing burger.

    You understand the difference between a citizen and the Commander and Chief of the United States Armed Forces, yes?

    If you were POTUS, and the CIC, do you think you would spend, oh, I don't know, maybe a day learning military law?

    If I didn't know it already, you can be damned sure I would spend a big bunch of my time learning how to be a real CIC.

    Not a big deal, but if Trump would get off his fat ass and ask a few questions before he reved up the old Twitter fingers, maybe he wouldn’t look like such a dick.

    Most Americans know that active duty military members will be wearing their very best dress uniforms if called to testify before Congress.

    You’re right. He’s got a direct line to the Pentagon, if he wasn’t such a lazy ass he could take ten seconds and ask.

    How much time do you think it would take to learn every single military tradition and rule and law that pertains to the Military? How much time to you think the President of the United States has to do such?

    You are right, you really don't know.

    Try to correct that as soon as possible.

    Awfully factual statement you're making there. Got proof to back it up?

    Like an active duty Army officer wearing his uniform when testifying before Congress?

    I would guess about ten seconds.

    I cant speak for him and the many others that might have found this informative! Bare in mind, I was raised in Northern California during the nam.. So I am torn between my Liberal teaching where my mouth automatically salivates at the site of a military uniform and the "Now" Conservative part of me wants to buy them lunch!

    Interesting how you avoided my questions. Here is what I responded to:

    Let's stick to the context here. Mind applying my questions to what you said here?

    No need to, when I'm confused about it I just recall my liberal Hippie teaching and let the old tribal instinct rule the day ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

    Perhaps you should re-read what you said and my question to you. Neither of which had anything to do with Vindman directly. Or should just chalk up this response as an evasive tactic because you know there is no evidence that "Most Americans know that active duty military members will be wearing their very best dress uniforms if called to testify before Congress." and are just trying to backpedal to save face?

    Perhaps if he would chose to learn about the armed forces he is the commander of rather than play golf, he may just not look like the ****ing idiot the world sees him as now.

    Just sayin.

    And perhaps if people weren't such snowflakes they wouldn't be triggered by this. Not even the best and smartest in the world knows everything or can learn everything.

    he answers to our politicians, ie: pelosi, mueller, biden, among others that have direct involvement with the ukraine... they even have their children working for ukraine companies... and btw, vindman is/was in charge of... that right, ukraine affairs with the usa...

    iow, they are all tied together, cohorts of the same :censored:...
