Marine Officer Relieved Of Duty For Calling Out His Superiors Over Kabul Attack by FutureIsFemale(f): 12:21pm On Aug 29, 2021
Marine battalion commander relieved of duty for calling out his superiors over Kabul attack, WonderTV Media reports.

A marine battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller was relieved of his duties on Friday 27th August, 2021 after publicly demanding leadership take accountability for the deadly disaster in Afghanistan.

In a video posted on Facebook by Lt.Col Scheller with the caption: “To the American leadership. Very Respectfully, US”, the marine commander called out Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley and others for not ‘raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, “We messed this up.”‘

‘The reason people are so upset on social media right now is not because the Marine on the battlefield let someone down,’ Scheller said in a nearly five-minute video he posted on Facebook.

‘People are upset because their senior leaders let them down. And none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, “We messed this up.”‘


In the video, he said he knew he was risking his stellar 17-year career that included tours in Iraq and Afghanistan by posting the video, but he still ran head-on into metaphorical gunfire.

‘I have been fighting for 17 years. I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders, “I demand accountability.”‘

‘I think what you believe in can only be defined by what you’re willing to risk,’ he said. So, I think it gives me some moral high ground to demand the same honesty, integrity, accountability from my senior leaders.’


Lt. Col. Scheller said he had a personal relationship with one of the Marines who died in Thursday’s ISIS-K bombing and ‘potentially, all those people did die in vain’ if the leaders don’t take ownership of the debacle.

The marine battalion commander who was relieved of his duty for warning superiors over the Afghanistan exit strategy says he will bring ‘accountability’ and that the military ‘needs a revolution.’

In a follow up post to the video, Lt.Col Scheller revealed that he was relieved of his duty.

“To all my friends across the social networks. I have been relieved for cause based on a lack of trust and confidence as of 14:30 today.
My chain of command is doing exactly what I would do… if I were in their shoes. I appreciate the opportunities AITB command provided. To all the news agencies asking for interviews… I will not be making any statements other than what’s on my social platforms until I exit the Marine Corps.
America has many issues… but it’s my home… it’s where my three sons will become men. America is still the light shining in a fog of chaos. When my Marine Corps career comes to an end, I look forward to a new beginning. My life’s purpose is to make America the most lethal and effective foreign diplomacy instrument. While my days of hand to hand violence may be ending…I see a new light on the horizon.
Semper”



He claimed in another Facebook post that some of his fellow officers have urged him to take down the video despite agreeing with him.
.
"I can’t possibly respond to the overwhelming response. Facebook has stopped allowing me to accept friend requests. But I’ll offer you one more thought… Last night when I posted the video I immediately had multiple Marines call and ask me to take down the post. “We all agree with you Stu, but nothing will change, and it will come at a huge personal cost to you.”
Obviously I didn’t take it down. Now that I’ve had time to process… I’ll offer this… we can’t ALL be wrong. If you all agree… then step up. They only have the power because we allow it. What if we all demanded accountability?
“Every generation needs a revolution” Thomas Jefferson”

If not for gallant officers like the one in the article, every flaming liberal feminist in the west would have been wearing a burqa and condemned to the oza room and kitchen where they belong.

It is for this reason I tend to like the Taliban since they are doing the right thing when it comes to caging you feral bitches.

And can easily be taken out by a rag-tag bandit despite his fully armed escorts and sirens and even right inside his so-called secured Academy /barracks.

Idiot, why should I take down my post for calling out how women have no place in society leadership? Until women begin to build civilizations, expand empires and develop cultures then they have no place in the decision making of any society.

The suffrage movement was the biggest mistake the west ever made and it is haunting them till this day.

You will never be a woman.

Stop associating with feminist dykes thinking that will make you accepted by Vagina people.

You remain a man and nothing you and every bobrisky fagg0t do or say can change that.

P.S.: before you cut your dik off, first get rid of your Adam's apple.

The only thing am doing is dyke-breaking.

You will accept your femininity, roles and place before a man.

The only future before you is a flat chest, and roles as a grandmother.

Get that through your purple-dyed low cut .
