As a member of the US military, Vindemann's famous appearance before Congress should be considered a shameful example of disloyalty. His job description (Ukrainian translator) did not allow him to divulge confidential information about what he may have heard his boss say in a highly classified conversation, regardless of what he may have felt. You may not like Trump nor approve of what he did, but Vindemann was in a position of confidentiality and he should have handled his concerns through channels and in no circumstance dress up in a military uniform and rat against his commander-in-chief in public. His display of disloyalty earned him being drummed out of the Army. Only the political repercussion prevented a full court martial. His actions amounted to acting for the benefit of a foreign nation and as such was treasonous. But of course people with his mind set do not see this.
