So far, there is not even a hint of any accountability for the military leadership that handed over vital weapons and facilities, making the Taliban the best-armed terrorists in history. But for a brave Marine who criticized them, imprisonment has come quickly, reportedly. LtCol Stuart Schiller USMC was just sent to the brig according to multiple news reports. Fox News:

So far, there is not even a hint of any accountability for the military leadership that handed over vital weapons and facilities, making the Taliban the best-armed terrorists in history. But for a brave Marine who criticized them, imprisonment has come quickly, reportedly. LtCol Stuart Schiller USMC was just sent to the brig according to multiple news reports. Fox News:

First a psych eval and now brig confinement. It appears the powers that be are out to make an example of him -- which he astutely predicted. On the psych Eval it was tragic that the Marine leadership went “full Soviet” on him.

In other words, in one week, Scheller is the trusted commanding officer of a very, very prestigious command; the next week, after speaking out, demanding accountability, he is given a "Psych Eval." Trust me when I say that a psych eval is not a friendly move.

It is obvious that LtCol Scheller anticipated his Commanding General’s very nasty move to have him confined to the brig.

Khrushchev won without firing a shot. Now it is illegal to criticize the leadership of the country.

It’s senior military we should demand a psych eval
He provided his resignation-what more did they expect.
These actions just pile onto issues detailed in his forthcoming book and media appearances.

He need a jury at his court martial. There is no way a jury of his pears is going to unanimously convict him.

Makes me wonder if MG Smedley Butler is found on the Marine Corps Commandant’s Professional Reading List?

This is unconscienceable.

It is long past time for a TRUE insurrection.

Not drinking a beer from Pelosi’s minibar.

Not putting feet up on a desk.

Not moving a podium.

But a TRUE INSURRECTION.

Milley and other woke DOD leaders are using this as a warning to any other officers who question the treasonous acts of their superiors.

After he spoke out they put a gag order on him and told him to keep quiet.
At the very least I know he made more posts online.
That’s what they have him on.

America is being crushed into a nasty authoritarian nation. A blind man can see that there will be a very nasty backlash coming. They are not going to stop. Like a high school bully, there is only one way to stop them.
If we do not utterly sodomize DC in the 2022 election, this will end in war.
And that’s assuming we make it that far without these evil usurpers destroying America in war or a grinding depression.

The military doesn’t want smart Officers.

The military wants OBEDIENT Officers.

Now you know why we couldn’t win in Afghanistan.

The military can no longer tolerate leaders.

Only managers.

Correct. That's pretty slick: shut up or you're asking for it.

Marine improsoned by Marine corps leadership because he asked leadership to behave with honor, intgrity and accountability in the aftermath of 13 dead marines being lost in a disasterous operation that the leaders claim was a grand success.

I guess this aint your grandpas Marine Corps anymore.
