[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]He’s active duty and is expected to wear a uniform when a civilian would wear a suit. He’s comfortable in it, which is good since he answers questions for 10+ hours, and probably is justifiably proud of his service. It’s not for optics - he doesn’t care about the optics, he cares about the honor, which is why he was brave enough to show up and then head back to work at the White House.[/quote]

Pictures of him at the White House show him wearing a suit.  That is not unusual for military officers.  DH wore a suit when he worked at a facility that was mostly civilian.  He was directed to wear a suit--maybe so he would blend in?  Interesting that the LTC chose to wear a uniform yesterday.

Don't know the protocol on this, but DH has great trouble with the guy testifying at all.  Of course, DH is old school.  The President is CIC.  He has the right to set foreign policy.  From his opening statement, the LTC confirms what was written in the transcript.  So, he testified to his opinion of the foreign policy.  His job as a military officer is not to set foreign policy. Period.

Your DH sounds like an idiot. [/quote]
+1 CiC has the right to set foreign policy, but not use his position for personal political gain. You and your DH are idiots for not being able to tell the difference.  LTC stated that there were missing pieces in the transcript. Maybe you and your DH should read other sources.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Vindman also testified that the White House’s readout of the call had missing words and phrases, and that he was unsuccessful in attempting to restore all the omissions to the rough transcript. [/quote][/quote]
