The U.S. Marine who posted videos on social media criticizing military leadership and the Biden administration’s withdrawal of military assets from Afghanistan pled guilty to all charges during a court-martial hearing at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina on Thursday.
Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. has pled guilty to all six misdemeanor-level charges, including willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer, dereliction in the performance of duties and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
Scheller was freed from the brig last week where he was being held for violating an agreement to stop posting criticism on social media.
He was relieved of his command at one of Camp Lejeune’s infantry training battalions in August after posting the videos to Facebook and LinkedIn after a bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul took the lives of 13 U.S. service members as well as dozens of Afghan citizens.
I remember when one of the USMC creeds was “No Man Left Behind”. Now it seems that anyone who points out Men were left behind AND because of incompetence goes to jail and gets court martialed – hell they now want to give Marines who refuse to get the ineffective and dangerous “jab” a “Dishonorable Discharge”?? Semper Fi???? REALLY?? Always Faithful to people who can so easily throw you under the bus??
