there are serious concerns, you re absolutely correct. president trump s actions really indicate rule of man versus rule of law. and rule of law is what helps to ensure good order and discipline within the military. let s say alexander vindman gois up for promotion of colonel within the next few months or next year. that is a board process. let s say he doesn t make colonel. what kind of faith does he have or should the rest of the army officers have in that process that it is one based on facts and not based on political proclivities of one individual in the white house? the military justice system regarding pardons of war crimes, that only affects a few folk. the personnel system affects promotion boards, linie of duty determinatio determinations, qualifications. if they can t be relied on, the trust starts to degrade. and every promotion and demotion should be merit based
