LTC Who Worked With Schiff Witness Vindman Says He Verbally Reprimanded Him For ‘Bashing America'
2019-11-02
[WD.com] LTC Hickman said Vindman was clearly a partisan Democrat who was more "activist" than a bipartisan military official. LTC Hickman goes on to say that after several complaints from other officials who were deeply bothered by Vindman’s "anti-American" tone, he verbally reprimanded him for his actions.

Lieutenant Colonel Jim Hickman is very familiar with Adam Schiff’s star witness Alexander Vindman. The two worked together back when Vindman was a Major.

LTC Hickman shared an incident that occurred between the two men during a combined US-Russian exercise called "Atlas Vision 12" in Grafenwoher, GE.

The incident that occurred between the two men was described by LTC Hickman in a Twitter thread he shared on his timeline on October 31st.

He begins the thread by explaining the mission and why the two men were there. He then goes on to describe a disturbing string of events involving then Major Vindman, where he bashed America to Russian and American subordinates, and heavily promoted a "globalist" type agenda.

LTC Hickman said Vindman was clearly a partisan Democrat who was more "activist" than a bipartisan military official. LTC Hickman goes on to say that after several complaints from other officials who were deeply bothered by Vindman’s "anti-American" tone, he verbally reprimanded him for his actions.

LTC Hickman says he wrote the thread because he personally has witnessed Mr. Vindman’s partisan bias behavior and wanted people to know that he’s not the "All American" decorated "hero" that the media and Democrats are painting him out to be.

He’s more of an "activist" than anything else, according to LTC Hickman’s direct observations and interactions with Mr. Vindman.

"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.

#6  Vindman should not be trying to screw with his Commander-in-Chief's policy or decisions. He should not be bad-mouthing America to Russians in joint exercises. Sounds like Vindman is a Obama, Brennan, Obama recruit. He ought to be shitcanned out of the military.

#5  Read Donald Sensing's article on LTC Vindman. He includes Jim Hickman's comments as well.

Rev Sensing's major point is that Vindman disobeyed a direct order. He should be court martialed for that alone. The fact that he might have disagreed with Trump is irrelevant.

Of course, he will not be court martialed, because "optics".

#3  Vindman’s "anti-American" tone

Explains why the Obama admin picked him for an NSC slot.

Thanks for the info LTC Hickman. I believe we now know who was pulling the strings on this fellow. But we also know nothing happened as a result of your admonishment concerning his Anti-American rants at Graf 7 years ago. My guess is, nothing will come of his voluntary testimony in front of the never-Trump dems.

Similarly, nothing came of MAJ Nadal Hasan's Anti-American rants... until he went rogue-nutter at Fort Hood. Nothing happened to the Tsarnaev bros. until the Boston Marathon bombing (even though they were known Haji radicals and travelers to Chechnya). Nothing happened about Clinton's 30,000 classified emails on a 'homebrew' server. Nothing happened about the Paki Awan family, DNC IT employees in Woodbridge, VA who...also ran a used car business (frequently used espionage cover-for-action) in Falls Church, VA.

Lastly, seems there will be no further inquiries into the numerous high-ranking foreign visitors to Jeffrey Epstein’s private Caribbean hideaway nor questions concerning his considerable unexplained wealth. Again, nothing has happened, well almost nothing.

Far too many 'nothing happened' coincidences. I simply can't imagine why.
