The Marine Corps has filed six charges against Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller over his passionate attack on the leadership mistakes that marked the debacle of the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Scheller will face a misdemeanor-level special court-martial, according to Fox News.
The charges were referred by Maj. Gen. Julian D. Alford, and came a day after Scheller was released from the brig at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina.
Scheller ripped into senior military leadership in a series of videos and posts that began on the day a terrorist attack killed 13 U.S. service members in Kabul. He noted in his final Facebook post that he was defying orders to stop his public comments.
Scheller is accused of displaying contempt toward officials, disrespecting superior commissioned officers, willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer, dereliction in the performance of his duties, failure to obey an order or regulation, and displaying conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.

I was a Navy soldier except for days when I was a transMarine.
Haha
My family has soldiers (Army), aviators and airmen (Air Force), and a few sailors (Navy).
The distinction was taught us young ones very early on.
No Marines. As my Uncle said “We tend to be to smart for the Marines.” But he was Air Force so take it with a grain of salt.
You are correct in times of regular order.
But we have entered an era of Marxist takedown of the Republic.
Scheller knew he was throwing his Marine career away. He should have been immediately discharged for cause. His crime was in drawing attention to the debacle of the Afghan withdrawal from within the ranks while resigning his commission and throwing away his retirement. The reality of the Afghanistan withdrawal has been covered over, it was one of the worst foreign events in US history.
No, they will not merely discharge him for cause, they are piling on because Biden’s puppetmasters told them to pile on.
Scheller can defy and disobey all he wants and we support him with dollars. The knuckleheads occupying cushy slots in the Marines better hope it remains dollars we support him with and not guns.
Let’s be clear, our government is today occupied by a prevalent caste of scumbags who are making us all domestic terrorists including PTA Moms.
Wake up and support Scheller, tell the Vindmans in the USMC we are going to have their A$$ in a sling unless they head for the exits. If they stay and follow the illegitimate slimeball in the fake oval Office, there will be consequences.
Get my drift?
BTW my Mother’s 1st cousin was a deecorated Marine hero at Guadalcanal and retired as a 3-star USMC General. That generation of military had leaders that were heads and shoulders above what exists today.
Like I said, if he publicly bad mouthed Trump for a lighter sentence/punishment, that would make him a real chump, and someone who would say anything to save his own azz. That would make his character and his situation even worse from my perspective.
Concur. Remember, those unbelievers who are attacking anything from believers, also lack perseverance. They will be easily tempted to divulge their true evil hearts with relish as they start to have more arrogant self confidence in their evil plans. They will reap the whirlwind.
George Washington was a master spymaster and understood the value of “intelligence during war”.
That did not make him a liar on the personal level. There is no evidence of that being so.
I have a number of books in my library that document this. One is by Allen Dulles. Don’t remember the other 2 without looking.
I'm trying to wrap my head around that one, but methinks the meaning has alluded me.

Spot on. But George Washington did in fact lie or perhaps better to say feed disinformation to the British.
He would write and seal letters to other generals and arrange the letters to be intercepted by the British. Inside were lies about troop strength and artillery, troop movements.
After the British were defeated, they complained that Washington didn’t defeat them so much on the battlefield as he did with his spying.
Juxtaposed against his ability to lie to enemies, he was the consummate gentleman of honor to his fellow citizens.
All is fair in war.
The reason we are talking about this is because we are in a war with Marxists and we are hoping Scheller is using the lie as a weapon to hurry his separation from service. We pray he has an opportunity in the future to make amends or clarify his comments regarding President Trump. But we don’t know if TDS infects his family. But whatever it is, we hope he is not believing his own commentary about Trump.
Show me where Washington, when facing charges, bad mouth the Americans who were demanding independence and bad mouthed the signers of the Declaration of Independence, all in an effort for a reduced sentence.
I’d like to see that.

He did not.
But you keep using George Washington as an example, comparing or attempting to connect what Washington did to what this guy did. That’s absurd.
If you want to go the Eddie Slovik martyrdom route, more power to you. But I’m not going to make my life a living hell in poverty and despair for the sake of giving Democrat bastards the finger.
It is known and written in history. It’s corroborated by British accounts in their historical register.
That's fine. But the founders did exactly that to the British. Many of them lost everything, including their lives.
And when this stooge blamed Trump for dividing the country, that tells me he drank the cool aid between commercials while watching CNN. And if made these comments to save his own butt, that’s even worse. He didn’t even need to bring Trump into this, yet he went out of his way to do just that.
There is no walking this back.
Officer’s don’t get BCD or DD. They’re “dismissed” which is the same as a DD in its effect. It takes a GCM to dismiss an officer after conviction. A Special Court Martial can order the forfeiture for up to 12 months. Were you talking about presiding over a Summary Court Martial or a Special Court Martial?
Xi-O’Biden is a total Disaster.
He will implode before the end of the year.
