#9  Also from the cave:

West Point graduate Colonel John Young Filmore Blake (1856-1907) lead the Irish Brigade against the British in the Boer War. Buried at West Point Cemetery, NY. (Third from left in foto).

Digressing even further, I'm calling that handsome horse in the photo a Basuto.

#7  Ha, g(r)om. Here's one for you from the memory cave.

Notice anything strange about the uniform of Estonian Commander of Defense Forces (1993 to 1995) the late Aleksander Eiseln?

#6  I have no idea who the next uniformed person in his chain would be.

Ukrainian defense minister?

#5  Good question Dale.

I believe Foreign Area Officers (FAO's) used to be managed and assigned from the very small FAO division in the Pentagon. Whomever he worked for in the National Security Council (NSC) would constitute his chain of command, rater, etc. I have no idea who the next uniformed person in his chain would be.

#2  Ukraine Asked Vindman to Be Their Defense Minister

In case you wandered why Russia sees Ukraine as a retarded younger brother.

#1  "Per the advice of my counsel, I (Vindman) have been advised not to answer specific questions about members of the intelligence community," the witness said.

Vindman has the interests of himself and the CIA in mind, nothing more.
