#1 So the fellow who never commanded anything above company level and hasn't worn a uniform in decades, was boarded and will soon attend the prestigious Army War College.

LTC Sausage was 'exempted' from normal career selection gates? I see. I take it his upcoming promotion ceremony will be a very private affair. Additional questions? No, I believe I have it now.

#3 Nothing yet on Sausage's older brother Leonid.

....A third brother Leonid Vindman, who reportedly was fined $1.3 billion when he worked for Unicredit for violating trading sanctions by trafficking nuclear energy materials to Libya and Iran, runs Tungsten Capital an investment firm with ties to former Soviet satellite countries.

#5 It’s not like they can let him actually command anything, and this way they can keep him at an empty desk for half a year without anyone fussing about it. A lot can happen in half a year when the commander-in-chief knows your name.

#6 /\ Excellent point TW. Too many years behind the 'Green Door.' He's a walking hand grenade. No one wants this fellow going full 'John Bolton' with a tell-all book right now. Get him off 'center stage.' Give him a short sabbatical to do some leisure reading, rest up, and get his PT program re-energized before reporting to Carlisle Barracks.

No. There are some good guys to be recruited in those places. Put him in San Francisco.

#21 Hmm. My son Tom (an Air Force Major - Major Tom!) may be assigned to a joint command at Ft. McNair, the site of the Army War College. If so, I will tell him to keep a lookout for LtCol Sausage. Too bad Tom isn't a LtCol himself yet. At this point he will have to salute the fat POS if he sees him.

#22 Ref #21: At this point he will have to salute the fat POS if he sees him.

Probably not. The students wear Mufti (civilian attire).

#23 re #22: I haven't been to Ft McNair since 1979, when I was a Lieutenant (Navy). We wore uniforms.

I wasn't a student; my reserve unit was putting on a seminar for the Navy.

#24 Civilian clothing is worn extensively both on and off duty. You will need complete summer and winter service uniforms, including a heavy overcoat and a raincoat. There are a few occasions when you will need your Class A or dress uniform.

The U.S. Army War College (USAWC) Chief of Staff, and/or Dean of the School of Strategic Land power, is responsible for designating the proper dress for academic activities on the USAWC Weekly Schedule.

#25 Army War College is at Carlisle Barracks, PA.

Industrial College of the Armed Forces, now, the Dwight D. Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy is at Fort McNair.

#26 My bad. I confused the Army War College with the National War College, which is located at Ft. McNair.
