Does a Congressman out rank a Lt. Col? (Page 3): Do you remember when Barbara Boxer jumped all over a General on live TV for calling her Ma'am instead of Senator? Seems like those on...

Exactly. And if it were a Democrat that had called him "Mr." he most likely would not have said anything. By correcting Nunes, a civilian, he showed his bias.

Do you remember when Barbara Boxer jumped all over a General on live TV for calling her Ma'am instead of Senator? Seems like those on the wrong side of right and wrong are demanding you respect their title while they, in return, disrespect the Commander in Chief hourly. The last Democrat (real Democrat) I can remember respecting was Zell Miller out of Georgia. Many of us remember the Truth about respect inasmuch it is earned not demanded.

I was a W.O. so everybody addressed me as Mister. However, civilians can call all military persons Mister or Miss.

If you have to demand respect, you don't deserve it! Nunes obviously misspoke and Vindman felt compelled to correct him. Nunes could have said GFY, but he didn't because he wasn't there to play that game. It was teh media, specifically MSLSD who I first saw made such a bid deal out of it, making out like Vindman "disciplined" Nunes on it.

It's just another great example of the narrative being pushed by the leftist Trump hating media. They ARE, sorry scum.

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 idiot...with deep feelings of inadequacy.

Well, sibling rivalry so yes feelings of inadequacy. It isn't the military so Nunes can address him anyway he wants. Dickhead comes to mind, but I don't think he'd do that.

Traitor! Why was Vindman offered the Ukrainian secretary of Defense position?

By a very corrupt Oligarch Poroschenko.

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

The Army is considering moving him and his family to a Army base for their safety after his receipt of threats.
