Here is Stuart Scheller’s statement...

To all my friends across the social networks. I have been relieved for cause based on a lack of trust and confidence as of 14:30 today.

My chain of command is doing exactly what I would do… if I were in their shoes. I appreciate the opportunities AITB command provided. To all the news agencies asking for interviews… I will not be making any statements other than what’s on my social platforms until I exit the Marine Corps.

America has many issues… but it’s my home… it’s where my three sons will become men. America is still the light shining in a fog of chaos. When my Marine Corps career comes to an end, I look forward to a new beginning. My life’s purpose is to make America the most lethal and effective foreign diplomacy instrument. While my days of hand to hand violence may be ending…I see a new light on the horizon.

Semper

Is it true that no one from our so-called Administration showed up to meet our fallen?

Not surprised. Since the stolen election of 2020, military oaths to defend the Constitution mean nothing. Kamala Harris is illegally sitting as Vice President since she's not a natural born citizen because her parents were not citizens when she was born.

This should be very telling considering another article featuring a female (looked more like a trans-female to me) SSGT threatening to shoot American citizens should she be deployed to the U.S. isn’t punished at all. The train is almost about to hit us. It’s time to start standing up to this...

This Marine deserves a medal.

We must utterly reject the political class that stole the election and destroyed our over 200 years of American Heritage.

He had to be relieved, and he knew it. It’s the known price for what he did.

That sure didn’t take long. Too bad that getting our people out of harm’s way was that high up on the priorities list.

Amazing how his career is over, immediately, for calling out incompetence’s in leadership while on the other hand LTC Vidman was hailed as a hero for lying about a phone call he eaves dropped on between his Commander in Chief, Trump and the Ukrainian President.

I agree with the Marine Lt Colonel.

He was duty bound to say what he had to say.

However, I agree with his dismissal. He was duty bound to resign his commission first. Then relieved from the chain of command he could say why he resigned.

The enemy is inside the wire. This good Marine swore an oath to defend us against all enemies foreign and domestic. And that is exactly what he did. Our so-called leaders can’t say the same.

This morning on Bannon’s show, Erik Prince said if he is relieved of command he can have an executive job at one of his companies. We HAVE to stand up for each other, period.

12 Marines and a corpsman are dead. His chain of command is AWOL. They belong in the brig. All. Of. Them.
