I remember G. Gordon Liddy once spoke about being accused of “contempt of court.”
He had replied to the judge, “Contempt is too inadequate a word for my true feelings.”
Lt. Col. Scheller should say, “My disapproval of those senior officers at the Pentagon cannot possibly be summarized using the limited term “contempt.”
He might as well give them both barrels of the 12 gauge. They hate the man and he will receive no leniency by groveling.
They are making a big mistake and will turn the man into a martyr well known to millions of patriots and permanently enshrined in history. He will be a heralded man of courage long after the four-star generals seeking his scalp are forgotten by history.
These are, after all,hypocrite generals who openly demonstrated contempt for President Trump who was constitutionally their Commander in Chief. In fact, these generals demonstrated total contempt for the U.S. Constitution and the sovereign people who elected President Trump.
They will also send a strong message to potential recruits that the brass cannot take a truthful rebuke and certainly cannot even win a war against illiterate, goat-herding barbarians in pajamas. Nor can these generals even preserve American advanced weapons (paid for with billions of dollars earned by hard-working American citizens),NOR destroy those weapons before a U.S.retreat so they do not become the means of death of our own troops.
Military leaders this incompetent, contemptuous and vindictive have no right to DEMAND respect from anyone.
My father was a career Air Force officer.
I have lost all respect for the military leadership of the USA.
Well said, and I completely agree with your summation.
Having served 50+ years ago, I can't remember a time when a field grade officer like Scheller, or of any service, had the balls to call out his senior leadership and rightfully so.
I also hope the best for him in his upcoming court-martial.
