I guess you didn't spend a lot of time around navy officers. Talk about arrogance. I met a few great ones but conversely ran into more than my share of self important ***s.
Old joke,
If i'm at a party with 200 attendees and there are 3 Navy Jet Jockeys in attendance, how will I know who they are?
One that was a friend, neighbor or family could call my"Father" a Master Chief Petty Officer by a few names.
Sir always worked for his children, Mr S#!&%, Ralph or Master Chief.
When he grew old I got away with calling him Master Chief and after my son was in JROTC he could call his Grandfather Master Chief...
I wish he could see his grandson, he makes Corpral net mo

A patriot is a patriot, unless he/she decides to become a traitor. I just realized that patriot, and traitor have the same letters; except for the lettter “pee”. That is the question. It all reminds me of babysitting. But, my grandtots that I babysit are innocent. I worry about their future. I can’t protect them forever.

Why Lt. Col. Vindman is a 'dangerous' witness for Pres. Trump:
NOV. 19, 201903:28
........................"Lt. Col. Vindman brought receipts," Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., a member of the Intelligence Committee, wrote in a tweet directed at Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. "You can keep smearing a decorated war hero, but he brought his performance review today."
The other witnesses — Volker, Morrison and Jennifer Williams — were expected to provide testimony helpful to the president.
They did not.
It was bad enough that the main question multiple Republican lawmakers had for witnesses was whether they had observed others committing acts of bribery, extortion or treason — questions that both called upon the witnesses to act as juries and could have exposed them to legal jeopardy had they answered in the affirmative.

I mean he had the balls to ' call out Trump ' for his behavior ... obviously he is better than the rest of us
Timothy Morrison, Alexander Vindman’s Boss, Reveals Problems They Had With Vindman
Morrison also confirmed that Vindman did not keep him in the loop about all the things that he was doing in the job and that Vindman went behind his back and did not inform him about the concerns that he had about President Donald Trump’s July 25 phone call with the president of Ukraine.
“If he had concerns about something about the content of the call, that’s something that I expected that I would have been notified of,” Morrison said. “I also think as a matter of practice, since we both went to the lawyers, we didn’t both need to.”
“At any point subsequently, did [Vindman] become frustrated that he felt cut out of some of the Ukraine portfolio?” Castor asked.
“Yes,” Morrison responded, adding that Vindman was upset that he was not invited on a trip to Ukraine.

Vindman was also repeatedly grilled by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who questioned Vindman’s behavior, saying, ““Here’s what I’m getting at, the lawyer told you don’t talk to any other people and you interpret that as not talking to your boss, but you talked to your brother, you talked to the lawyers, you talked to Secretary Kent, and you talked to the one guy Adam Schiff won’t let you tell us who he is.”
“Is that right?” Jordan asked.
“I did my job,” Vindman said in defense.

The more I have seen of him, the more I see that Vindman is a sniveling, whiny little peon who fansied himself as more important than he was. He is in up to his eyes in this and when it all comes out, I won't be surprised to see him facing military charges.

I disagree heartily on this. I think that Nunes called him "mister" as a matter of habit versus being rude or insulting.
To this day if I meet someone who retired as a Master Chief, I still address them as Master Chief.

For all you folks who see Vindman as so heroic (though I'm betting much of that support comes from needing something - anything - to support The Majority's clown show) or choose not to believe what I and some others have written about this "patriot" and his insistence on "lieutenant colonel" how 'bout this:

But not yet. Here's a tweet from Sara Carter confirming other officers supporting LTC Hickman's reprimand of Vindman (remember his pro-Russian, anti-American remarks at Grafenwoehr?):
Here's the deal: while we respect Vindman's uniform we don't respect the dude wearing it.

Multiple War Heroes Slam 'Prissy' and 'Disgraceful' Lt. Col. Vindman Following Testimony - American Greatness
A number of famed military heroes blasted Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman on Tuesday, calling him “prissy,” a “disgrace,” and “an operative with an agenda.” Vindman on Tuesday earned their scorn for testifying against his commander-in-chief in uniform before the House intelligence Committee as part...

Here or the Impeachment thread, guess it doesn't matter.
I think the two political hacks just got out maneuvered - that would be Vindeman and the woman who was on the Pence side of the house.
Wonder how the Democrats will treat this member of the military.
Statement from Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, National Security Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence
For you knuckle dragging liberals, that's I'll see your Lt. Col., raise him to a full bird Col and then add three stars.

Kellogg had a GREAT rep. I never met him, but I knew folks who had and their assessment was
.Since some folks are telling me/us how wonderful Vindman's rack is, why not go here and read about Kellogg's:
