I did a welfare visit for one of my corpsmen to that brig once. With tears down his face he begged me to get him out. I wonder if there's a special place there for lieutenant colonels.

The true test will be once he is released how he will act. If he immediately posts a video I’m going with he lost his marbles.

There is. I did a few welfare checks at that brig. Also did one at Quantico and had a few officers in there. They are usually kept sort of isolated from everyone. I had a kid beg me also to get him out… I told him to pound sound. He killed someone… he took his knife and sliced another Marine’s throat over a tiny argument. I had zero sympathy. He was awaiting transpo to Leavenworth. None of the brigs are nice places for sure. The Charleston one wins. But we kept some high profile terrorists there too. Not a great place for any service member who happens to have pushed the limit just a bit and got 30 days as a wake up.

Or he doesn’t care and is challenging them. I think he knows what he is doing and has someone helping him manage his path and what will get him the most attention. Or, like you said, he lost his marbles and is delusional.
 
When I was at Parris Island before I could claim the title I saw a working party that I perceived as prisoners. Not sure what Brig they were from but it was the only time during my stay at PI that I felt Someone may have it worse. Although it was very difficult to try to watch them and the DI at the same time. I didn’t want to get sent to the pit for eyeballing the area.

From "The Laws of the Navy" which generations of USNA Plebes have had to memorize:

'Tis well with thy seniors to fight?
They prosper, who burn in the morning,
The letters they wrote overnight.

I've used Admiral Hopwood's poem in my leadership classes...it spans the services and the eras.
 
General Milley said intelligence was given to him that China was afraid of war with Trump so he de-escalated. But he said under oath Trump was not going to do that. It is being reported that China was not afraid of that.

Who holds intelligence accountable? They got the russian hoax and russian bounty story wrong (at worse).

Under oath, the generals said they won’t discuss private discussions with the president. Yet they certainly did against Trump with anonymous leaks to “journalists” and book writers. Do they see the double standard?

I don't think so. I believe the U.S president should be able to speak with other world leaders without the fear of being Vindman'ed.

Trump got impeached over a call to Ukraine that was not secret discussing corruption that was documented on Hunter’s laptop. 50 former intelligence officers said Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.

It turns out Hunter’s laptop has troves of damning information.

It is almost as if there is something being hidden.

So why wasn't Vindman held accountable?

Speaking as a former commander, my response to this officer is:

Article 90, Article 92, Article 133, and Article 134.

Seriously???? 90 and 92 are a real stretch since the order was to stop telling the American public we have/had no idea what we were doing. And 133, the withdraw brought dishonor to the entire military. Oh....but I'm glad someone was held accountable (Lt Colonel Scheller)
 
In addition to @flieger83 's suggested charges, you could add Article's 88 and 133.

The government might also consider federal crimes such as 18 U.S.C § 2385. Advocating overthrow of the Government based on comments the individual made.

It's hard to imagine a 6 year member of this site doesn't know what a Navy Corpsman is.

Are you saying that the Marines don't have "Corpsmen"? They're always Navy? Well then the answer to your question is yes, I didn't know that. It must be hard to always be the smartest guy in the room, bless your heart.
