Lt Col Stu Scheller was thrown in the brig and then drummed out of the US Marine Corps for publicly condemning the chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Almost four years later, he is part of the team investigating the Biden administration’s handling of the evacuation that led to the deaths of 13 US troops in a suicide attack at Kabul airport.
“Ironic that I will be investigating who should be held accountable for Afghanistan,” Lt Col Scheller, who was handed a senior role at the Pentagon by Donald Trump, said this week.
It shows just how much Washington has changed since Mr Trump returned to power.
And it marks an extraordinary turnaround for a figure who was relieved of his command and court martialled after posting a video criticising senior officers on the day a blast ripped through American personnel guarding the evacuation from the Afghan capital.
“I have been fighting for 17 years,” said Lt Col Scheller, then commander of the advanced infantry training battalion. “I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders: ‘I demand accountability.’”.......
On message boards used by Marines, it was Lt Col Scheller’s name that attracted most attention.
Opinion divided on whether he was a wise choice.
“That guy who was popping off about an op he had no connection to and knew nothing about is now an investigator for it?,’ said one user of a Reddit forum.
Another poster, who claimed to have been trained by him, said: “More than anyone else I interacted with, that man cared about the future of the corps and knew the future [lay] in our subordinates and how we treat them.
“I wish him the best and I know he will do the best for our country.”

The truth will out.........
Also let us not forget the innocent family, mostly children who were blown to bits because of erroneous information from our intelligence department.
Biden and his cronies are the ones who should have been thrown in the brig.
Tons of corruption in that cluster of a mess. People got rich off it but this investigation will end like every other investigation since January.
I hope so.
Rather than face the consequences for ones failure, crush the person that dares mention/report on it.
Very telling of the management both politically and in the military.
IMHO, most people if they screw really bad, so bad that it costs people their lives, you probably out of shame and guilt, respect for the grieving, will stand to face the music. You’ll accept the criticism. Not a Biden and Milley...
If I remember correctly, this marine had 1 year to go before retirement. He easily could have kept his mouth shut and retired.
The lesson here is to be cautious; you never know when the person you mess with will one day gain power over you.
“most people if they screw really bad”
Only one woman ever tossed me out of bed!
I truly believe that they intentionally botched the withdrawal.
God BLESS his/our CIC and Sec’y Hegseth !

Good!
LOL
Supposed to read “Screw up.”
Great stuff. He has motivation to avoid a coverup.
But admit it.
If you screwed up that bad and cost some young kids life... There is a certain feeling of responsibility combined with guilt that makes you stand there and take it, right on the nose.
Deep down inside, there is that feeling of “I deserve this.”
But not a Biden, Milley, etc.
Courage. He is the right person for the job.
As my friend Bubba told me: Never kick a horse turd and they might become your next boss.
has Trump pardoned him for all the convictions he had in military courts?
Has the pay he was deprived of been restored?
Has his full term retirement benefits been restored?
Any person penalized improperly by Biden, civilian or military, should be encouraged to sue the US, so a settlement can be made with them.
Trump and Scheller are at the top of their games. Absolutely Awesome! Thank you President Trump.
