QOTD -- Alexander Vindman

"Through a campaign of bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, the president of the United States attempted to force LTC Vindman to choose: Between adhering to the law or pleasing a president. Between honoring his oath or protecting his career. Between protecting his promotion or the promotion of his fellow soldiers. These are choices that no one in the United States should confront, especially one who has dedicated his life to serving it.

"LTC Vindman did what the law compelled him to do; and for that he was bullied by the president and his proxies.  And yet, LTC Vindman would not be intimidated and will not be corrupted. He did what he has always done: put the interests of his country ahead of his own." -- Partial statement by Amb. David Pressman, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman's attorney, on Vindman's retirement from the Army today.  Vindman is the highly decorated combat veteran who appeared at the House impeachment hearings on Donald "Impeached Forever" Trump, and testified about the impeachable behavior he witnessed while working at the National Security Council.
