Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller went viral on social media for blasting the military’s leadership during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal.
Now, he has been sent to the brig, in simpler terms, military jail.
“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud,” Scheller’s father, Stu, said, per Fox News. “He was asking for accountability. In fact, I think he even asked for an apology that we made mistakes, but they couldn’t do that, which is mind-blowing.”
Scheller’s parents spoke to Laura Ingraham last night.
As previously reported by Human Events News, Scheller posted a video to Facebook following the suicide bombings that killed 11 Marines, one Army Green Beret and one Navy corpsman, along with several Afghani citizens.
In the video, Scheller, who wore his service uniform, challenged his chain of command and demanded accountability from senior leaders on the situation in Afghanistan.
“I want to say this very strongly,” Scheller said in the video. “I have been fighting for 17 years. I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders: I demand accountability.”
He called on Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David H. Berger, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley.
“I’m not saying we need to be in Afghanistan forever, but I am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, ‘Hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone?'” Scheller asked “Did anyone do that? And when you didn’t think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, ‘we completely messed this up?'”

Scheller released several more videos until he was eventually told to stop posting to social media in general, which he ignored.
He seemingly realized that his last post could result in a trip to the brig.
“What happens when all you do is speak the truth and no one wants to hear it. But they can probably stop listening because I’m crazy right?” Scheller wrote at the end of the post. “Col Emmel please have the MPs waiting for me at 0800 on Monday. I’m ready for jail.”
Scheller is currently in “pre-trial confinement,” a spokesperson for Training and Education Command said.
“The time, date, and location of the proceedings have not been determined. Lt. Col. Scheller will be afforded all due process,” the statement continued.

He needs a good lawyer, they will chew those military clowns up and spit em out!
Every decent citizen should demand that the Lt Col. Scheller be released ! Biden Administration has made this man a POLITICAL PRISONER for pointing out their weaknesses.
I heard he had a go-fund me set up for his legal defense, WHICH GO SHANK ME, shut down for “Violating policy”..
Thank you again, Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller. You are a hero. I pray that many of our brave men and women will follow you in this rebellion! It’s time.
American military historical successes have always been because of the freedom infused ability of its individual troops, to step in, fill the leadership void, and adjust to the situations on the ground and not be locked into old ways of doing things, or party line, to adjust to the ever-changing conditions on the ground. In WWII we consistently outperformed the collective enemy led mindset which went limp when their leaders or pilots were killed and nobody had the freedom of action to step in and fill the void, who had to await the arrival of a party trained leader to arrive a day late and a victory short. Thanks to the Biden collective military leadership mindset of CYA, and promotion of your leader’s propaganda cover, men of action and free-thinking soldiers like Scheller are no longer rewarded and recognized but jailed, gagged and threatened with punitive discipline. Our military, blessed with the best of equipment is cursed with the worst of leadership that places politics over results, flush retirement or political advancement over victory on the fields of war. American war efforts are now like a circular firing squad aimed at the military best and the brightest instead of fingering the fools at the top who if left on the battlefield to defend American interests, based on their own lack of courage and ability only sacrifice the life force of others to promote themselves, would fall like leaves in the wind, or an American army in Afghanistan.
I would LOVE TO see a mass ‘strike’ by the rank and file, to PROTEST What the DOD is doing.. BUT I FEAR way too many of the rank and file, are just ‘going along’ to keep their pay checks coming in… Like good little sheep.
The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. Isaiah 32:5
It fits the politicians and military lleadership”.
This Marine was 100% correct in posting those questions on Social Media ! The pullout from Afghanistan was one of the most disgraceful things that the United States has ever done, and the REASON was the INCOMPETENT LEADERS in the Democrat Party who made that decision. This was a situation where the Leaders ( Biden/ Harris/ Blinken) were TOLD by the Pentagon about the dangerous situation in JULY, and chose to completely IGNORE the WARNINGS ! They do NOT care about the Military, OR Americans, and Afghans who HELPED the Americans. These people in MY opinion, belong in PRISON for TREASON ! “Betraying their Country” !
yet we have murders and other offensive persons get off with a slap on th hand if at all. our country wwas found on freedom of speech,etc. Sad
They belong in front of a FIRING SQUAD.. not rotting in jail.
Did he not follow General Milley example……….
That’s my question too.. IF MILLY can flat out publicly ADMIT TO lying to the Commander in chief, AND FLAT OUT IGNORING orders he gave, along with willfully worked AGAINST HIM, without punishment, WHY IS this LT Col in jail?!?
Where are the real warriors like George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, John Pershing and George Patton when we need them?
Biden would jail them too in Biden’s America. Our children, and grandchildren are educated to become Biden youth, by Dem political legislation , and supreme court decree. This is a consequence of bad government, which has corrupted the entire cultural environment, government, law, education, armed forces and media in almost all venues.
Our popular media has changed also by government legislation in Dem – Biden’s America. This is from a different kind of Time magazine of June 24, 1945 .
THE UNDEFEATED, ” At last the victors met the German people. Not THE NAZI PARTY , not the horror masters of Buchenwald and Dachau, but the people, from whom all the evil and vigor sprang.”
The German Government and Supreme Court also like Biden’s Dems passed laws legalizing their atrocities in their cultural environment.
Hero’s get jailed for telling the truth about the evil legislated, and Supreme Court decreed policies of ” Biden’s America.”
