Good day all. This story has been making the rounds for the last few days and is still ongoing. A United States Marine Lt. Col, Stuart Scheller, was relieved for cause a few days ago when he went online and blasted his superiors over the debacle in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From what I\u2019ve been reading, the Marines really didn\u2019t have a choice but to relieve him. However, it appears that LtC Scheller knew exactly what the cost to him would be and felt that he couldn\u2019t remain silent, even at the cost of his career. It seems that he is not backing down or being apologetic. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

The maverick Marine<\/a> fired after he released a now-viral video slamming the U.S. military<\/a> for botching the exit from Kabul<\/a> issued a clear threat to his aging superiors Saturday. <\/b><\/p>\n

Oooh that isn\u2019t good. That could lead to worse then relief from his command. So what did he actually say?<\/p>\n

“The baby boomer\u2019s turn is over,” Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller told The Post. “I demand accountability, at all levels. If we don\u2019t get it, I\u2019m bringing it.” <\/b><\/p>\n

He also quoted Thomas Jefferson, saying “every generation needs a revolution.”<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can see how that can, and probably will be interpreted. It doesn\u2019t help matters that, thanks to the current leadership, both civilian and military, people are thinking the unthinkable.<\/p>\n

Scheller\u2019s family and former troops say they\u2019re not surprised the officer sacrificed his career in order to tell his truth. <\/b><\/p>\n

“It takes real courage to do what he did and\u00a0that was Stu all the way,” Juan Chavez, 33, of Valparaiso, Indiana, who served under Scheller from 2011 to 2014, told The Post Saturday. “He was a magnificent leader, a breath of fresh air, who was\u00a0always going to do what\u2019s right, even if it goes against the grain.”\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found the video that LtC Scheller made on Rumble.com. (I\u2019m not going to waste my time to see if it\u2019s on YouFlub. Even if it is, they will remove it for \u201cViolating Communist<\/i><\/span> Community Standards\u201d or something.<\/p>\n
