wait a minute, at what point was he a registered agent for the Ukraine.  The man is a military officer and would not be permitted to be a registered agent for the Ukraine.  For that, you have to have to make it public and get approval and would not happen.   How do you know what he wore to work everyday?  In my experience, all military wear their uniforms to work, unless they work for an intelligence agency and the NSC is not an intelligence agency.  Do you even understand the purpose for having military working in the offices? 

There was a time during and right after Viet Nam, when the military that worked in DC did not wear their uniforms to work, but that hasn't been the case in years.  For a while, the Army was wearing their BDUs to work to show solidarity with their brothers in arms, but that was stopped shortly after I retired and when they did away with the service uniform (the green uniform), the dress for office work was the dress uniform.  They are transitioning into a new service uniform, but I doubt it is widely available yet. 

What LTC Vindman is, is a desk officer for a portfolio that includes Ukraine.  He is what is known as a foreign area officer, which means his assignments outside of the troop Army, would be centered in jobs that region.  I was a desk officer for the Middle East and later, for Latin America for the Army.  The NSC is an assignment like any other made by his assignments officer with the Army.  He's not an agent, he is not a lobbyist, he is in his job because he is a foreign area officer.  He is the White House face to the country, in this case, Ukraine.  He's required to be an expert to advise the President via his chain of command.  

Y'all are so out in left field it is scary.
