Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller of the United States Marine Corps revealed Friday afternoon that he has been relieved of duty for posting a video criticizing military leaders for failing to take responsibility for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.In the video, Scheller, a 17-year Marine Corps officer, said that he knew he was risking his career by speaking out, but that he wanted to explain why so many service members were frustrated, in the wake of the terror attack on U.S. forces in Kabul on Thursday.“The reason people are so upset on social media right now is not because the Marine on the battlefield let someone down. …

And Biden, et al., are not fit to carry Lt. Col. Scheller's jockstrap.

I'm 100% certain that a patriot will quickly step forward and offer this amazing man a great new career.
Who wouldn't be honored to have him on their team!

I have no doubt either #2. This great patriot understands serving his country far more than too many leaders of our military. The Joint Chiefs of Staff aren’t fit to sit at the same table as this Marine.

Semper Fi Marine! They are cashiering an Officer for being honest. In 2024 he should be recalled to Active Duty promoted to Colonel or Brig Gen by the newly elected Republican President. When Lincoln promoted Grant to lead the Union Army he was challenged why he promoted Grant because of his drinking. His reply was simply "He fights". Today our senior Generals are nothing but politicians in uniform and reflect why we have not won a war since 1945. US Grant initials it was told stood for Unconditional Surrender maybe our service schools need to start teaching there is no substitute for victory.

This filthy administration that is running 'the show' for the senility dementia ridden vegetable is drunk with power and their sense of unaccountability. Milley and Austin might fear an insurrection if others would be as brazen as this Marine who dares to ask for answers and not the BS that the State Dreck Dept. and the silly red cow deliver at their pressers.

You don't comment about your superiors unless it's President Trump. Plain and simple.

This Officer goes down in the annals of American History with our Founding Fathers who put career and fortune on the line for TRUTH and FREEDOM.
Semper Fi, sir.

This pains me because clearly this man loves the military and his country. I am sure he did a lot of soul searching before he made this video. He knew the consequences of speaking truth to power. What motivated him? I believe it was the one thing that O’Biden’s generals lack, real commitment to the ethos of the military and love for his country. Makes me wonder how many young men are being brainwashed by their woke superiors.

This is outrageous---I wish we all could apply pressure to get Scheller back on the job, and CERTAINLY hope that this does not jeopardize his retirement pension...he was three years away. He is So on track---the bureaucrats at the top have no notion of what it is like to actually fight or serve!!!!!!!!!

Knowing the military code in such matters, Lt. Col. Scheller stuck his neck out for what is right and got cashiered for disagreeing with his "commanders". Ummm . . . let's see . . . Lt. Col. Vindman, the lying bastid, is hailed as a hero by some. Gen. Milley criticized Trump and a "so-called" photo op as the President walked to Lafayette Square. Should Vindman and Milley not be cashiered? The code (which I happen to agree with in principle) be applied equally be it Generals or Privates and those in between?

You did the right thing, Marine. Those who persecuted you over politics will some day be held accountable.

I realize it's not normally acceptable to criticize your superiors in the military but these are not normal times. I admire this man for making a stand even though he knew what to expect.
Hitler's SS followed orders blindly. I hope more of our armed forces are prepared to defend the constitution. not the defend the deep state, like Millie Milley.

This marine is absolutely right but he watered down his statement. He must have known his statement would end his career. No officer can publicly criticize superiors and get away with it. It is anathema to military order and has been since armies were invented. He provided them with a righteous cause to cashier him. He should have resigned and incorporated his statement into his resignation.

Not incompetent, not surprised, not feckless, not even "weak": this evil regime has deliberately provided aid and comfort to our enemies - costing the lives of our citizens, soldiers, and allies.
Now, what do we call that ????

It's most sad that Scheller felt compelled to do this. The good guy always gets the shaft in this corrupt world of ours. It is even sadder if his dismissal results in a dishonorable discharge.

#19: Hopefully our 48th President - be it Trump, DeSantis, or whoever - will re-instate Scheller with full benefits.

The “woke” Generals of today will most likely claim that Lieutenant Colonel Scheller has a mental situation ongoing and should seek appropriate treatment.

The planned 'bug out' from Afghanistan was a military blunder the Lt Col is correct. If you surrender while fighting on the battlefield the victor takes your arms but to leave them in place to slither away is cowardice leaving civilians in lurch.
I question this too. The cavalry would never leave a wagon load of Winchester repeating rifles for the hostiles then retreat ask Custer about that.

This Lt. Col is not alone...and if the woke generals in DC start dismissing all the soldiers and marines who feel this way... they will have to fight the enemy themselves as more and more of the VOLUNTEER forces quit ...or aren't they smart enough to know that...let's go down memory lane...one more time... let's recall what happened to the Soviet Union when their tank commanders "refused to attack" the crowd shouting for freedom...Boris Yeltsin admitted the situation and Russia became Russia once again...

Will the Congress bring LTC Scheller up before one of their high powered committees to testify as they did the LTC Vindman? I don’t think so.

And yet some corrupt uniformed taxpayer funded "woman" says she will force U.S. citizens into their homes if the don't comply. Where is her court martial for defiling the U.S. Constitution she swore to uphold?

I do not know Col Schellers' home of record but if he is in a congressional district held by a "D" my wife and I would chip in thousands towards his campaign.

It’s hard to sympathize with him when he says he too would have relieved a subordinate for doing what he did. I’m not seeing the point of his actions although I agree with his position on the ineptitude of our national leaders .

Let's cut the crap, the handwringing, and the finger pointing:
Joe Biden and his top admins should be courtmartialed or impeached.
Kabul is a nascent slaughterhouse.
Who can start the processes today?
Kamala must go too.
Who's next in line? Pelosi?
She should be DQ'd.
Close the southern border today.
Take Bagram back today.
We cannot survive as a country unless we get rid of the incompetence and malfeasance in DC starting today.
Read the Declaration of Independence. Our founders anticipated this day and told us to overthrow a bad government as a last resort.
That last day has arrived.
BRING BACK DONALD J TRUMP.
He is the legitimate president and everyone knows it.
Pray that our God who helped George Washington's troops defeat an invincible enemy will help us save the country He founded.
He won't abandon us if we plead for divine help. Put your trust in Him, not men.

To become a general you have to be a suck ass that is why we have some generals that are clueless around their surrounding like the dumbos, Milley and Austin the wope gang whatever that means.
