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

‘Chow Thief’ Vindman says he rank-checked Nunes because people were being mean to him on Twitter…

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 military title, and it’s seen as uncouth when dealing with civilians.

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

Rank checking civilians is a bad look…

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

Where is Vindman’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.

I’m pretty sure there are lots of turncoat oath breakers out there in the ranks that applaud his actions.

Vindman’s in waaaay over his head - but he’s seems like a basically decent person.

A Congressman is an elected representative of We the People. Who "outranks" whom, here?

The only noteworthy decoration Vindman has is the Purple Heart. I know it was a roadside bomb, but was he in a HumVee or what? Was he really wounded or just got his bell rung?

The rest is garden salad.

Vindman is a globalist and partisan hack. Read up on the guy, he is a disgrace to the uniform.

He seems basically decent until you find out information about him.

Like when he spoke favorably about Obama’s anti- American actions.

When Vindman said that, Jordan should have referred to him as “Alex” the rest of the hearing, what was going to do, get up and stomp out?

I do not know the injury but Vindman said he returned to duty the same day.
