They are making an example out of him. How long until citizens get the same treatment from government rulers?

Conservative TV and Radio hosts should play him every day to shine the light on the communist scum that is our military leadership and much of the government.

I support Lieutenant Colonel Scheller, but one can not say he didn't knowingly violate military protocols with his statements and choices of venue to air his dissent and calls for accountability.

Are they making an example of Lieutenant Colonel Scheller? Absolutely. But if you watch all of his videos, one would have to conclude he was fully cognizant that would happen, and arguably, what he wanted to happen given that he continued to poke the hornet's nest until it did happen.

In the latter days of the Vietnam war, David Hackworth made similar public remarks about the senior leadership and remained a very controversial figure through the rest of his life. Ironically, decades later in 1997, HR McMaster would publish his doctoral dissertation regarding the failed leadership of the Vietnam war and was highly lauded for having done so.

As a former Army officer, I found this analysis of Lieut. Col. Scheller's circumstances by Ward Carroll, to be pretty insightful, and spot on. Carroll is a retired O-5 and was an F-14 jock and USNA instructor.

I agree,, They are making an example of Lt.Col. Scheller, ordinarily he would be confined to quarters.
He’s specifically being kept from speaking any further.
THe charges are specious at best.
