he Marine battalion commander who was relieved of his duties for warning his superiors over the Afghanistan exit strategy has resigned from the military.Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller published a new video online on Sunday addressing his resignation just days after he went viral for calling out his superiors for not 'raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, 'We messed this up.''Scheller's original video criticized Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley for leaving the Bagram Air Base before all Americans and their allies had the chance to be evacuated.

To Austin and Milley: truth hurts. To Lt. Col. Scheller, thank you for speaking up and telling the truth about these horrible decisions. I am sorry you had to resign but now, hopefully, you are free to speak your mind and push back on the incompetents in this administration.

So the only military commander to loose their job over the Afghanistan debacle is someone who called for the ones responsible to be held accountable? Vindman, the weasel from Trumps impeachment didn't get in trouble for leaking information and is still in the military? Only in Biden"s America!

This is what Americans should do. Right is right and wrong is wrong. If we do not speak out in this crazy upside down world, we are going to be in a world,of hurt. Just look at what Biden has done in eight months. We need more truth tellers!
All the best Lt. Col. Scheller. You have my respect and admiration.

President Trump should make him a General when he is elected in 2024 and put him on the Joint Chiefs. He can be brought back and America would be better for it.

Does anyone know how to start a Go Fund Me page? This man gave up his pension for us. I would certainly contribute.

The bad news about these types of resignations is they are part of the plan.
The commies are systematically purging the officer ranks of those that will not march in lockstep, leaving only those that will not question, will not think for themselves, that will follow any orders and that is a scary thought.

Bravo zulu. Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller did the most honorable thing he could do. The Army would have put him in an unlit cell too small to stand up in, and buried him in a far-flung corner of Texas somewhere.

#8, GoFundMe has gone woke and would probably not allow him on their site. But if anyone does set up some kind of fund, I will join you with as big a contribution as I can. This man is a hero. The Joint Chiefs are weasels.

FTA: 'I think that money should go back to all the senior general officers because I think they need it more than I do - because when I am done with what I'm about to do, you all are going to need the jobs and the security,' he said.
I'm assuming he can't sue the Marines, so is he saying senior officers will lose their jobs once he exposes their maleficence?

Will Grandma Nancy bring Scheller to testify before one of her high powered congressional committees like she did the insubordinate whistleblower and the anti-Trump Vindman? It’s more likely that the military brass and the Biden crew will portray Scheller as having a mental

our 'leaders' do this because they cannot stand up to scrutiny. They aren't leaders. They are tyrants. Their actions (relieving the good Lt. Col. of duty)are the actions of tyrants.

Agree with posters that Lt. Col Scheller is a true leader and we need more like him. I hope he runs for office.

Was at an WWII Air Show here in Idaho yesterday, and Old Crow Airplane Ace Colonel Bud Anderson, 99 years old, a few months short of 100, spoke of fighting Germans in the air over Europe in a dogfight, fighting for our country and lamenting that we probably won't see and have that kind of patriotism he saw in this country again. The greatest generation. The last of the flying aces of WWII. Sad to see these was heroes be alive and see what Biden is doing to the military today. There was another veteran attending there too. He was 5 months short of 100 years old. He put in the air strip at Guadalcanal right before Japan was bombed. On the loudspeaker, he said he was angry about what was going over there. He said they were bast...ds. A lady announcer said he could say that since he was 99. Excuse me! He has the right to say that because he's an American, he's a Veteran, and he has fought for this Country lady!!! Enough said!

As a career military veteran I read this report with great interest. Many times in my Navy career I shared with my shipmates the frustration with, and sometimes disdain for, the incompetent REMFs that were running the military. This LC saw a personal duty and he did it. He is committed to a cause and he felt the need to go outside his chain to make a bold statement. For that I say well done. I will take exception with one of his statements. He seems to include the Veterans Administration as a contributing culprit the Biden Afghan debacle. Accepting veterans benefits earned from iltary service is in no way condoning anything to do with the conduct of this mis-administration or the military leaders. I hope veterans do not feel that the vital services provided by the VA are somehow linked to the positions that they may take on the conduct of "leaders".

Last night rather late, did anyone else see his latest and longer live chat to us? Just before dawn this morning I checked Twitter. As per just like the KGB, there was some statement from Marines about Scheller’s possible “mental issues” so they were reaching out to help him. Very scary. When he said WTP need to “blow the uh f system up” my heart sank. They are after him now. We have to pray very hard for the personal safety of this outstanding patriot.

The top should resign, but Milley and crew will not. They are enabling Biden the same why the generals did for Carter. Our poor troops are sitting ducks right and some have died. All because the Generals didn't do their jobs.

Col. Scheller, thank you for your service, sir. If there is any justice in this world, I would like to see Vindman stripped of his pension and benefits for his disrespecting President Trump.

Unless they are truly evil to the core, how can Biden and his cohorts face the public after this sensless tragedy? They should be the ones resigning and would be if they had any integrity at all. How anyone of conscience can ever trust such pols again is the question remaining.

Truth is the enemy in the Empire of LIes. The LIARS are pulling the strings and blame is always elsewhere.
Except, of course, in reality, when it comes to Biden voters who have traded “mean Tweets,” for the subversion of America. BRAVO Biden voters!

Unlike Biden's top brass kissers at the Pentagon like General Milley, Colonel Scheller is a leader. Scheller for Congress!
