In a military setting, the Lieutenant Colonel’s proper course should have been to resign his commission, then speak out.
So in that sense, going to the brig or suffering court martial is unfortunately appropriate.

I believe he attempted to resign his commission after the released video. However, our new woke Marine Corps, apparently, decided not to act on his resignation and decided to apply the UCMJ to him. They wish to curry favor with those who "donated" $85 billion in weapons and equipment to the Taliban, left Americans behind and are responsible for US military personnel being killed at the Kabul Airport and the drone strike on innocent Afghan adults and children.
Yes, they clearly want to make an example out of him.
