Marine officer who blasted leaders over Afghanistan withdrawal now in the brig

“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud.”

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, the Marine officer whose meteoric rise to internet fandom began with a video criticizing military leadership over Afghanistan, is currently in the brig, his father told Task & Purpose.

“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud,” said Stu Scheller Sr. “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.”

He said that his son is expected to appear before a military hearing on Thursday.

“They had a gag order on him and asked him not to speak,” the senior Scheller said. “He did, and they incarcerated him. They don’t know what to do with him.”

After this story was first published, the Marine Corps issued a statement confirming that Scheller has been sent to the brig.

Lt. Col. Scheller is behind bars but US Generals who backchannel with the CCP or drone strike Afghan children still walk free and have jobs.

Let's help this Marine! This is from his Mom Cathy Scheller. He has made National News for speaking up. Please share.

INCARCERATION Stuart Scheller

STANDING WITH STU IS STANDING WITH OUR ACTIVE DUTY AND VETERAN SERVICEMEMBERS

It is with a heavy heart that we, his parents, are informing you that our son, Lt. Col Stuart Scheller, has been incarcerated by the USMC this morning, September 27, 2021. He was issued a Gag order which he broke this weekend by posting on social media.

Like us, he is a Proud American that has proudly served his nation for seventeen years and was simply asking the system that he dedicated his life to, the Military, to also support him.

His command seems to be concerned but do not appear to have the tools to support him at this time. Incarceration appears to be their only solution. The lack of ACCOUNTABILITY for the botched Afghanistan withdrawal has caused many issues and stressors for thousands of our Service Members who have asked, “WAS IT ALL WORTH IT?”
In thirty days, our son Lt. Col Stuart Scheller went from being an exemplary Marine, handpicked by the Corp and placed in a highly prestigious position as the Commander of the Advanced Infantry Training Battalion, to a Marine that is being incarcerated for Demanding ACCOUNTABILITY and INTEGRITY from Military Leadership.

All our son did was ask the questions that everyone was asking themselves, but too scared to speak out loud.
He doesn’t deserve this treatment.

Recently, Stu asked to resign; The USMC told us, his parents, that our son serves at the pleasure of the President. They have not accepted his resignation.

He understood from his first posting that he was risking his retirement, his medical benefits, and the stability of his family by speaking out. HE HAS INDEED LOST ALL OF THESE AND NOW HIS FREEDOM. Yet, he was willing to risk that all for the country he loves and to protect the men and women who have served and continued to serve by answering that much-needed question: WAS IT ALL WORTH IT? ACCOUNTABILITY and HONESTY are essential to answering this question!

Many have asked, how can we help? What can we do? He and His family need your help, donations, prayers more than ever. PLEASE donate at Pipe Hitters Foundation donorbox.org/lt- col-scheller. Contract your Representatives and continue to DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY!
Stu SR. and Cathy Scheller

I seem to recall something similar happening in Germany back in the 1930s.

Since this was an opinion, and not a direct chain of command infraction.......

How is this not another of a growing example of the left imprisoning political dissadents.  IMO...only a reprimand would have been warranted in this case.

Don't believe me?  Ask the guy getting ready to serve 6 months for stealing a beer from Nancy Pelosi.

Anybody see the film A Hidden Life about Austrian solder Franz Jägerstätter who refused to pledge allegiance to Adolf Hitler?

The crime here - apparently - is not criticizing the president or trying to resign from USMC, it's the use of social media. We are living in crazy and disturbing times.

The decent thing to do is to accept this man's resignation. But decency in government seems to be a thing of the past.

Decency?  90+% of government in DC are criminals. It's like a decent bank robber.  Except these robbers are stealing Trillions of dollars.

In a letter to the U.S. Marine Corps Commandant, my colleagues and I have asked that LTC Stuart Scheller be released from pretrial confinement:
