A Marine who claimed he was "relieved from duty" after going viral for criticizing military leadership over the withdrawal from Afghanistan now speculates he might be court-martialed and "will probably do some jail time."
Stuart Scheller, who claims now to be a former lieutenant colonel, has been posting regular updates about his dissenting stance that led to his alleged removal from the military, saying in a Wednesday update to a video he uploaded to social media on Aug. 27, "The Marine Corps will assign an investigating officer. Most likely a Colonel."
Scheller's initial video posted last week came just hours after 11 Marines, one Navy sailor, and one Army soldier were killed during a terrorist attack in Kabul near the airport. The United States scrambled to evacuate as many eligible Afghans and U.S. citizens from the country before the Aug. 31 deadline for military forces to exit the country. Scheller said in the video that he knew at least one person who was killed in the Kabul attack.
"Once the investigating officer finalizes his recommendation, the Marine Corps will decide if they should pursue court-martial," Scheller claimed on Wednesday, adding that if it does go to court-martial, "I will be found guilty and will probably do some jail time. This will provide me a valuable opportunity to read, write, and contemplate."
The Marines confirmed Scheller's "situation is currently under investigation" but declined to provide further details to the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, according to Capt. Sam Stephenson, a spokesman for the Training and Education Command. "The Marine Corps is not providing any additional information regarding Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller. His situation is currently under investigation and being handled appropriately by his chain of command, and therefore, we cannot comment further."

They are going to throw the book at him for pointing out all the treason going on above him.
Boy, I would have loved to be that investigating officer and had the opportunity to place blame exactly where it should be placed.
Do it! Make him a martyr. Keep this disaster on the front page!
“...being handled appropriately by his chain of command, and therefore, we cannot comment further.”
Uhh, huh.
The man has tendered his resignation, requested to be effective in two weeks — 10 days, now. The Corp not just accepting that resignation, and advancing it to completion...
This is political retribution, now.
Off to the 1/6 Gulag. Criminal!
I would as well but we both know that the 'Perfume Princesses of the Pentagon' will never let anybody that is honest anywhere near their "investigation" or the political show trial.
They are going to lean hard on this man hard to take a plea bargain so that there is no court martial to report on.
I just hope he survives til he gets out.
He should be Trump’s next Secretary of Defense.
thats a problem.
FP of FR you bet
FP of the New York slimes? nope. not even the last page.
same with the rest of the MSM.
This guy’s going to get the Jack Nicholson/One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest treatment. It will be declared service related and he ain’t coming out of the nut house until he can be trusted to play nicely with others. He’s a marine so that means never.
We don’t have political prisoners in the United States, doncha know.
I thought he resigned his commission as part of his speaking out?
He will be in solitary close to one of tbe unfortunate souls at jan 6.

And to think - we grew up thinking we were lucky to live in a great country.
We were lucky growing up here. Now we see the mess our country is in.
Biden walks free. Outrageous!
They’re setting an example of him. Just like the Jan. 6 Political Prisoners.
Tendered to the first general officer in his chain. Tendered, not accepted. Unlike in civilian worlds, one doesn’t just quit, get up, walk away....
You ask. They approve or not.
They’re setting an example of him. Just like the Jan. 6 Political Prisoners.
No. he’ll be sent to a military brig.
