It was for only 24 days, but I think it's worth mentioning

Michael Flynn somehow disgraced this country in his short time as National Security Advisor (The shortest tenure in fact) and he damaged the office of National Security Advisor.

With an increasingly aggressive Russia, we can't even humor the notion of him anywhere near political power ever again.

Donald Trump says he wants to bring him back.

It should be considered a national embarrassment and I feel like this association alone would be disqualifying for anyone who did something similar and is not Donald Trump.

It would be like George Washington re-hiring Benedict Arnold. The Felon and Flynn are both traitors to America. Lock 'em up and let 'em work together making license plates.

Of his military title and benefits. Unless I missed it, I think he’s still collecting a pension.
