I have mixed thoughts.

Yes, it's messed up that he is the one being fired, and not those at the top of the chain who are responsible for the botched withdrawal.

Yes, it's messed up that he is being fired for calling out his superiors for skirting accountability for something that has resulted in the deaths of U.S. forces, allies and civilians, when not too long ago, the POS Vindman guy was treated as a hero for being similarly belligerent when he was upset about a phone call.

Yes, ugly truths are being suppressed, and the whistle needs to be blown.

Yes, it's messed up that the USMC is ensuring his and his family's "safety and well-being" KGB-style.

But he comes across as someone who has not thought things through.  Language about "bringing down the system" and "Venmo my wife because we haven't talked about this yet" detract from his core message of holding high-ranking dirtbags accountable.

Provacative messaging is essential, but it needs to come across as more measured and thoughtful, less disgruntled and shoot-from-the-hip.

Will he back down under pressure behind the scenes from the establishment he's standing up to?  Will he get disappeared?  Is he a nutjob?  Will he start a movement?  Is he just wanting publicity to run for congress or something?

Can't say I know much about him.  Way too early to get on board.
