Across the board failure at the highest level of our military

It is not often that a point like Lt Col Scheller’s -- that some of the most senior military leaders in charge are found wanting -- is so quickly validated.

Lt Col Stewart Scheller is confined to the brig because, to put it in Marine speak, he would not “STFU” about holding leaders accountable. I will leave to a military judge to review his being silenced with brig confinement. Such an order appears to be petty, disgusting, and an overreach made out of fear since he offered to resign.

However, it is not often that a point like Lt Col Scheller’s -- that some of the most senior military leaders in charge are found wanting -- is so quickly validated. Sec Def Llyod Austin, Chairman JCS Milley and CENTCOM’s General McKenzie make his point in their own words that they are not being held accountable. Nor apparently will they resign in disgrace by holding themselves accountable for the greatest military defeat in American battlefield history.

It is that simple. And special note to General Milley: invoking your dad on Iwo, my only uncle who I am named after also did not have the ability to resign because he was KIA on Iwo Jima, so enough with self-serving red hearings.

We need our own military. The US government and the military has become the enemy of the people. Of course you know this means war.

The unity that IS America, has willingly been self excised.


America is a way of thinking, and as a man thinketh, so IS he.

When I was a Commander, you couldn’t just throw someone in the stockade/brig.

You had to prove that they were a threat.

What has this man done to show that he is a physical threat?

Whoever ordered him to the brig should be in the brig.

We only have Woke joke generals.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation was a fatal mistake.

But, not real leftist ANTIFA/BLM riots. Only patriot protests or in reaction to false flag hoaxes.
