“Chow Thief” – Rangers Wanted Alexander Vindman Removed from Ranger School
www.cernovich.com ^ | By Mike Cernovich

Alexander Vindman was a “chow thief,” and “lazy,” a classmate of his at Ranger School told me. The Ranger (Scroll and Tab with multiple deployments) went on, “We tried peering him out in Mountains.” Mountains refers to the Mountain Phase of Ranger School.

Chow thieves steal MREs from other Rangers and are notorious in Ranger School, where students are subjected to near-starvation conditions. It’s not uncommon for students to lose up to 40 pounds, and most students lose 20 pounds.

During Ranger School, the people who don’t use team work and screw others over are often voted out of Ranger School in a process known as peer evaluations.

Despite not having the respect of his peers, Vindman was pushed through due to his language proficiency.

During Ranger School, LTC Vindman kept getting low peer ratings because “he was lazy and a chow thief,” a Ranger School classmate of Vindman has said.

Battalion Rangers wanted him out, said he was POS.

Where is Lindman’s Bronze Star?

A field grade special operations soldier asked me why Lindman didn’t have a Bronze Star. Officers who serve in a command position are usually given a Bronze Star for meritorious service.

The process of awarding officers a Bronze Star has recently become a controversial one, with many enlisted men viewing the practice as unfair, especially when awarded to officers who weren’t under active enemy fire.

At the time of VIndman’s command, the practice was still common, and Vindman should have a Bronze Star.

This is seen as a red flag to senior officers. Rank checking civilians.

During his testimony at the House Intelligence Committee, Vindman ranked checked a member of Congress. “Rank checking” is when an officer demands you call them by their title, much like someone in a PhD. in English insists you refer to them as Doctor.

Alexander Vindman says he got abrasive with Jim Jordan for not referring to him with his full military title because of what people were saying about him on Twitter pic.twitter.com/4ljH3IJUkx

Special Forces veteran Tim Kennedy found this Vindman’s checking to be a bad look, as did nearly every other veteran who wrote into me expressing their embarrassment over Vindman.

Correcting a civilian about how to be a addressed is a for sure way to make everyone in the military think you are a douche bag. https://t.co/uclV6B7VnG

I was initially reluctant to report these details out.

Vindman has a CIB (Combat Infantry Man’s Badge) and Ranger tab. I’m reluctant to criticize anyone’s service, let alone someone with a CIB and Tab.

Alexander Vindman has combat infantry badge, ranger tab, and Purple Heart. Those badges matter and few are in position to question his loyalties.

Several members of Ranger battalion felt he was giving all Rangers a bad name.

“The Rangers in the private groups are all calling him the fat officer or fat colonel,” one source told me, “You need to get this story out.”

Yeah. Are they sure he wasn’t bunking with Bergdahl? The only soldiers the left admires are treasonous bastards. If Benedict Arnold was alive today they would be standing in line to....well I’ll leave that up to your imagination.

Flounder from Animal House is a better comparison for Vindman

No sale. ANY citizen is in a position to question his loyalties. Those badges may well form part of an answer to such questions, but they are NOT the complete answer.

My impression he appeared fleshy to me ... certainly not chiseled. Any command presence in his features are totally absent.

Don’t forget violating the chain-of-command by bypassing his boss Morrison, and going to Eisenberg.. He claims Morrison wasn’t available at the time, but the issue wasn’t so important that he couldn’t have left his report with Morrison’s office, and followed up with him later. It was just an excuse for him to get to someone he knew would do his dirty work for him.

From another post here at FR.

Retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Jim Hickman

https://twitter.com/Jim_Hickman13/status/1190077852680634368

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.

Seems LtCol. would be a prime candidate for a UCMJ Article 88 court-marshal.

UCMJ Article 88: Contempt Toward Officials. Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

No idea how that fat F# could pass Ranger school.
I wonder if he got his Tab under Obama’s ‘special rules’.
Nothing like having unqualified women and hacks in your unit, a real morale builder. Sad stuff.
