Prior to MAGA Trump supporters raising more than $2 million to help with his legal costs, Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller publicly denounced help from the former president and his son, saying he would “rather sit in jail” than accept their support.

Looks like LTC Scheller just got burned by the PC policies he's supported. Still, due to 1st Amendment issues, his defense remains good to support.

[HighSierra5]

Trump doesn’t need your help either.

[Jeff Chandler]

Apparently the Trump family’s lack of military service rubs this guy the wrong way.

[fatman6502002]

It also seems he is precisely what military members should be, non-partisan. It is also obvious from his writings that he dislikes Trump the person but he also admits that he liked Trump’s policies. So I have no problem with him and we should continue to support his positions. Face it, while most of us love Trump some people are turned off by his personal behavior as the Colonel seems too also.

[HighSierra5]

Military service doesn’t matter when it comes to patriotism. Take Milley Vanilly for instance.

Interesting: Balkanization happens quite often in the USA.
Look at the fall out of 9/11...”You can’t possibly know what we are going thru...you aren’t a New Yorker!”

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I wonder why Jeremiah Andrew Denton Jr. keeps coming to mind in this thing . . .

[DocRock]

Then no cabinet position when Trump is President again.

I never served. My father served in the Marines in Korea. Never talked about it.

While I respect the military greatly, the disrespect and contempt some in the military seem to have for the regular ordinary joe and family of head-down working, paying taxes and trying to survive seem to be of no value. Talk about dividing a country. This prick needs to shut the hell up.

True enough, we could regard the situation as defending not him but his rights. However, courts these days rule on specific defendants, not on principles; and have done so for ages. It’s all case law, not law; earlier decisions, not abstractions. They study the tracks, not the animal that made them.
However, he sounds like a drama-meister.

It looks like Lt. Col. Scheller may be suffering from some kind of mental health crisis, as the Marine Corps apparently feared when he first started behaving in what appears to be a rather erratic way. His statements may be something a lot of people agree with, but that's typical for certain kinds of mental illnesses.

Lt. Col. Scheller's judgement and thinking process seem to be rather disordered and grandiose.

[Pearfect]

Pretty ungrateful to President Donald J Trump fans who sent money to this guy.

President Donald J Trump doesn’t need his help either.

Disgraceful! !!

[Wilderness Conservative]

Fine, he’s one less thing/person to care about. My give a damn is already at max capacity.

[CodeToad]

The arrogant idiot has a mouth writing check his ass can’t cash. He was ordered to cease using his uniform in political social media publications. He refused. He’s going to get busted hard.

[HighSierra5]

My give a damn is busted too.

[bigbob]

He violated the UCMJ now he can pay the price.

Many marines are extremely dualistic. Everything is black and white to them. Mentally, this guy just put something in another category than the rest of his chain of command. The result isn't pretty to watch.

Typically, if an officer in the U.S. military doesn't agree with the policies of his/her superiors the honorable thing to do is resign in protest. This guy went a different route and the result is high drama. A court martial is likely, although a military jury might do something unpredictable. Imagine this guy on the witness stand bellowing, "You want me on that wall! You need me on that wall!"

Best to keep the Trump haters out of this , take Trump’s help and then the Anti-Trump crazies show up

[\/\/ayne]

I wonder what they threatened him with in that cell.

[PUGACHEV]

Maybe he did need his head examined, after all.
