(82,849 posts)As I'm sure Sen. Duckworth has reckoned, the next step is to ignore the hypocritical yammering that will surely come from the other side of the aisle.

A higher rank from a corrupt administration is no honor.
With luck they will get their just deserts.

(9,901 posts)I think Duckworth would better for military morale, and candidate military burnishing, while Harris would be a better political law and order pick.

(11,126 posts)My promotion to Colonel - long years ago - was held up by a senator wanting an explanation for someone (or someones) not on the list. I got over it.
If LTC Vindman is not on the list for promotion to O-6, the Senate SHOULD NOT confirm anyone from Colonel to General (four star) absent an explanation - by the Secretary of the Army - why he is not on the list.
Give 'em hell LTC Duckworth - you are correct.
