Re: Alexander Vindman: Coming forward ended my career. I still believe doing what’s right matters.
*I hereby give you permission to begin understanding it this way. You know, just like I originally wrote to begin with. Nope. What you originally suggested was that if Vindman had been tough like a Marine, instead of being a pansy Army officer, he'd have stayed. Pfft. If he'd been an enlisted Marin...

Re: Alexander Vindman: Coming forward ended my career. I still believe doing what’s right matters.
Shades, your formulation, as I understand it:
career Army, Jump Wings, Ranger Tab, combat, Purple Heart = snowflake
any enlisted career Marine = never a snowflake
Based on your eight-and-a-half years in the Reserves, two of which you spent on your mission in Japan.

Re: Alexander Vindman: Coming forward ended my career. I still believe doing what’s right matters.
Your own personal anecdotal evidence seems like pretty thin gruel to be basing such sweeping and damning snowflake assessments on. Here's what I wrote: "If he'd been an enlisted Marine, he'd have spent his entire 21 years, six months, and 10 days of active military service enduring nothing BUT a ca...

Re: Alexander Vindman: Coming forward ended my career. I still believe doing what’s right matters.
Shades, I'm curious. How did you arrive at this opinion? Research? Experience? Gut feeling? I'd say it was probably research in the form of experience. I was in the Marine Reserves--infantry--for five and a half years, but for two of those years I was on a mission, so only three and a half of those...

I said that if he had endured a career as an enlisted Marine, then a little bit of so-called "bullying"--in the form of Trump and his allies merely blocking his hopes for advancement, of all things, especially when Trump and his allies are soon to be gone anyway--wouldn't have intimidated him at al...
