The New York Times Trashes a Combat Veteran Who Dared to Give His Account of Alexander Vindman

It’s amazing how quickly the rules change.

A few weeks ago, I was assured that it is absolutely off-limits to ever question a military member’s motivations when they enter the political arena. Any concern about why Alexander Vindman was so dedicated to Ukraine’s interests was considered a “dual loyalty smear.” This was all a surprise to Michael Flynn, of course, who has been relentlessly trashed by the media despite his extensive military record.

Oddly enough, the rules suddenly changed again this week when another military member stepped forward to give his personal account of Vindman.

This, via American Greatness, who has been in contact with Lt. Col. Jim Hickman.

The New York Times on Thursday covered U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jim Hickman’s explosive allegations against Democrat “star witness” Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman by casting aspersions on Hickman’s character.

Last week, Hickman divulged on Twitter that Vindman “really talked up” President Barack Obama and ridiculed America and Americans in front of Russian military officers when Hickman worked with him in Grafenwoher, Germany in 2013. Hickman said that he “verbally reprimanded” then-Major Vindman after he heard some of his derisive remarks for himself. “Do not let the uniform fool you,” Hickman wrote. “He is a political activist in uniform.”

Given what I’ve seen of Vindman’s testimony, all of that is absolutely believable. And let’s remember that Hickman is a decorated combat veteran. By what logic is he to not be believed but Vindman is? Especially when Vindman’s behavior has shown him to be an arrogant, self-serving operator who was willing to subvert the elected accountability of the President to push his own foreign policy?

But the rules are always malleable and The New York Times decided to trash Hickman after lecturing the world just weeks earlier about questioning Vindman. Consistency isn’t their thing....
