Back in August, Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller called for accountability for military leadership on the disastrous and catastrophic exit from Afghanistan. He did so knowing he was risking his career and would likely face punishment for doing so. "The reason people are so upset on social media right now is not because the Marine on the battlefield let someone down," Scheller said. "People are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, 'We messed this up.'"

As he knew and said would happen. He is likely to lose all the veteran benefits and retirement earned for his service and even possibly suffer a dishonorable discharge. The military is very intolerant of dissent.

This kind of vengeful action ironically reinforces the truth of what Lt. Col Scheller was saying. Will our pathetic leaders try to find a way to punish the father as well?

Medals Milley the stolen valor general exacted his revenge on the Lt. Colonel who displayed his 'white rage'. The problem is the wrong man is stripped and sent to prison it should be chow hound Milley sitting in a cell for his treasonous act he performed against CIC President Trump.

I guess the military did not want somebody live streaming on the same day Milly and Austin are testifying.

That will teach you to be patriotic and use common sense. A few decades ago, Scheller would have been climbing the ladder to the Pentagon and collecting medals, now he's a threat to the pampered princes.

"A very few - as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men - serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it." - Henry David Thoreau

FTA: “'Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. is currently in pre-trial confinement in the Regional Brig for Marine Corps Installations East aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune pending an Article 32 preliminary hearing,' said Capt. Sam Stephenson, a spokesman for Training and Education Command."
It's tragic but entirely predictable what is happening to Col. Scheller but he hasn't been "thrown in prison," as the headline claims. No one is "thrown in prison" without first having been found guilty in a criminal trial. It's like not knowing the difference between a piece of legislation that has passed one of the houses of Congress and a Public Law, which further serves to undermine the credibility of what is being reported.

Leaders should do nothing most of the time. Get the team focused on the tasks and get the work done. It is not a leaders job to put their thumbs on the scale, or pick winners and losers. That is corrupt and unethical behavior.

Lt. Col. Scheller has more integrity and courage in his middle finger than Milley has in his whole body. When I was a Marine, I’d have been proud to serve under his command.

don't know what state he lives in, but there's a very good chance he will be the next congressman to represent his district
I'm sure "Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller" is being lauded as a stand up guy by other inmates, he will be an excellent congressman and/or senator

Based on what I heard yesterday at the Senate hearing, the LTC should be released with a gold plated apology.
