Much has been made about Nunes accidentally referring to Vindman as Mr Vindman especially in light of Mr Vindman's correction of Mr Nunes.

I know that superior officers can refer to subordinates as Mr, or they could when I was doing that line of work. Is it improper for Nunes to refer to Mr Vindman as Mr Vindman???

Nothing wrong with the way Nunes addressed Vindman....

Nunez is not Vindman subordinate.

Real military personnel say yes sir/ma'am or no sir/maam to our Congress and Senate.

Vindman is a self absorbed i***t...with deep feelings of inadequacy.

There is an issue with the term "Mr"?

Sorry... Sometimes Western politics are funny...

This thread will probably garner more attention than "a million Muslims in reeducation camps"...

Everyone I have spoken to said the same thing about him. Apparently he's already be disciplined for leaking and talking too much.

Yes he has been a leaker. Guaranteed him and Ciaramella conspired on this phony accusation.

No doubt! There are atrocities occurring all over the globe which dwarf anything we experience here in the US. And why these atrocities continue to occur is a mystery.

Jesus said "there will be poor always." It applies across the spectrum of suffering. Then he says look at the good things you've got. Starving kids everywhere. And even Jesus stopped at 5000 when feeding the hungry!

Maybe our humanity knows the temporary nature of our time here.

I like Nunes, I would imagine his stool has more integrity than your boy Schiff does.

Civilians are not required to address military personnel by their rank. When Vindman corrected Nunes, he was out of line. (I spoke to my son, who is a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force, who assured me of this.)
