I previously covered how Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller was relieved of duty after he demanded military leadership show some accountability when it came to the grievously bad decisions made in Afghanistan. He spoke out, knowing it might have that consequence of him being relieved. He particularly pointed out the bad decision of not retaining Bagram Air Base to help with the evacuation.
As we reported earlier today, he said that “The baby boomers’ turn is over. I demand accountability, at all levels. If we don’t get it, I’m bringing it.”
He clearly doesn’t think the military leadership is owning up yet, so now, he’s gone a step further. He said that he will be resigning his commission, at 17 years, short of his 20 years which would vest his pension and benefits. This is an incredible sacrifice, giving up a lot of the security that he’s earned through his service — to be honorable, to put everything on the line to push for accountability, that if no one else stands for it, at least he will.
He takes them apart in a new video.
I want to make the announcement today. After 17 years, I currently not pending legal action and I can stay in the Marine Corps for another three years, but I don’t think that’s the path I’m on. I’m resigning my commission as a United States Marine effective now. I’m sure there’s some more admin on how I’m supposed to do that and I’ll work through that. But I have forfeiting my retirement all entitlements. I don’t want a single dollar. I don’t want any money from the VA.
I don’t want any VA benefits. I’m sure I’m entitled to a hundred percent. I, you know, breathe on the smell and smoke of burning shit for years. I don’t want any of it. All I asked for was accountability of my senior leaders. When there are clear, obvious mistakes that were made, I’m not saying we can take back what has been done. All I asked for was accountability for people to comment on what I said and to say, ‘Yes, some mistakes were made and had they done that. I wouldn’t have gone back into rank and file, submitted and accomplished what I wanted the morning after I posted my video and I came into work, my boss came in and he asked me, ‘What were you trying to accomplish?’
And that was a very tough question for me. And my response was I want senior leaders to accept accountability. I think them accepting accountability would do more for service members and PTSD and struggling with purpose than any other transparent piece of paper or message. And I haven’t received that. For the over $2 million that I would potentially receive in retirement for the rest of my life, for the however much extra the disability would be, 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.
“We will bring the whole f**ing system down. I am honorable. You can ask any Marine who served with me for 17 years,” Scheller said. “I dare you to ask them all and find out what I’m made of. We’re just getting started.”
Will any of the leadership show even half as much character as this brave man? So far they have not even come close to measuring up.
> Will any of the leadership show even half as much character as this brave man?
No. They’re sitting in their comfortable offices planning how to spend American lives on the next globalist adventure.
Because if you want an insurrection, all it takes is for the military chain of command to break down. They don't have to turn on the civilian leadership, all it would take is for them to do nothing...
I have great admiration for our military overall but not much for some of the present leaders. Everyone knows that members of the military are sworn to follow legal orders, but when leaders act in ways that make the legitimacy of their orders questionable, we are on thin ice as a nation.
I got out after 20 years (almost to the day) under Clinton. He should stay in for the retirement - he earned it. Plenty of time to fight it later …
Semper Fi!
They’ll find some excuse to arrest him. Mark my words.
These jerks WANT you to get out … DON’T DO IT … yet …
>> These jerks WANT you to get out …
Same thing with the local law enforcement. Create a crisis then install federal police.
Unfortunately, it seems our military top “leadership” has been overrun by a bunch of woketard, race baiting, dick chopping FREAKS. If any of them had a shred of honor, after what they’ve allowed to happen to our troops and citizens, they would eat a pistol. It used to be our military was run by MEN. Now it’s a bunch of poofters.
I just watched his video - sounds like he knows where the ‘skeletons are buried’. He says, “you don’t know what I’m capable of”; the problem is, he could have Hunter Biden’s 2nd lost laptop with emails on it from Valadimir - it wouldn’t matter in today’s political environment … I don’t think he understands the deep state…
>> I don’t think he understands the deep state
Sounds super pissed the way you describe it. If exaggerating, everyone’s entitled to it especially when the temperature is high.
[[the problem is, he could have Hunter Biden’s 2nd lost laptop with emails on it from Valadimir - it wouldn’t matter in today’s political environment]]
Exactly- hunter himself is on video telling a hooker that the russians have his laptop and will use it as blackmail against joe- and the msm just yawns-
I wish this marine God-Speed- but laws and rules are for conservatives, Jews, Christians, and little people- not for liberals
Quote of the year!
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s considered a threat and has some night visitors who take him away and lock him up without telling anyone where he is.
Why did he drag me into it.
F-em.
bkmk
Any way to keep track of this Patriot?
I want to join him in his quest
