Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, the officer who went viral for blasting the military’s leadership amid the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, has been sent to the brig, according to a report.
“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 Scheller Sr., told Task & Purpose. “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 first rose to internet stardom by posting a video to Facebook blasting military leaders for the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, questioning their command decisions on the events leading up to and during the final evacuation effort.
Scheller would go on to release several more videos, generating praise and controversy while drawing the ire of military leadership. Eventually, he was told by superiors to stop posting to social media altogether, an order he immediately ignored by posting about the gag order.
The officer also seemingly realized that last post could result in his trip to the brig.
“What happens when all you do is speak 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 of the officer’s status.
“The time, date, and location of the proceedings have not been determined. Lt. Col. Scheller will be afforded all due process,” the statement continued.
But the elder Scheller defended his son, arguing that he was only asking for “accountability” from the military’s top brass.
“He’s asking for the same accountability that is expected of him and his men,” he said.
“I’ve had Vietnam veterans contacting me applauding him for his courage because they too want to know: Was it all worth it?”
In the brig so he could not openly comment on benedict milley’s, general mackensie and sec def austins testimony. Only two members of the military have been relieved of duty for the afghanistan debacle.

Impeach Biden,Court martial Milley and get ourselves out of the United Nations
Biden’s legacy after 8 months.
Worst and most unpopular president in US history. The next 40 months do not matter. He will not recover. It will only continue to get worse.
‘Biden lied to America’: GOP senators sensationally call out the President after Gens. Milley and McKenzie say they DID advise him to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan – weeks after he said they didn’t
Senior military officials told senators on Tuesday that they would have kept U.S. troops in Afghanistan
Their testimony contradicted President Biden’s claims senior advisers did not recommend keeping troops
Gen Frank McKenzie said he recommended keeping 2500 troops to prevent a Taliban takeover
And Gen Mark Milley said his analysis was that a hasty withdrawal could trigger the collapse of Kabul
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said: ‘Their input was received by the president … for sure.’
Yet in an August 18 interview Biden had said none of his advisers warned against bringing home all U.S. troops
The new evidence, given before the Senate Armed Services Committee, triggered Republican anger
Sen Josh Hawley said: ‘The president of the United States lied to the American people’
It was the first time Pentagon leaders testified since the U.S. completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan
They faced sharp questions about the pullout and whether they anticipated the Taliban’s rapid takeover
Republicans accused President Biden of lying to the American people after top military officers said publicly for the first time on Tuesday that they advised the commander-in-chief to leave 2500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan to prevent a Taliban takeover.
Testimony provided by the country’s defense secretary and two senior generals contradicted Biden’s claims he was never warned by military advisers that bringing home American soldiers risked the collapse of a fragile government in Kabul.
I credit Biden with the courage it took to leave, when the b.s. from the right that would follow was entirely predictable. A 20-year, $300 Million per day war, and after all that the Afghan army and government collapsed like a house of cards.
2500 American troops wouldn’t have prevented it. THE COLLAPSE STARTED AS SOON AS TRUMP REDUCED OUR TROOPS TO THAT VERY LEVEL. The fact is that Biden had to increase U.S. troop levels from 2500 just to evacuate the 122,000 people that we did.
Trump had the courage to leave. Trump had the courage to leave securely and with dignity. Had election fraud not played a hand, he would have withdrawn, as long as the Taliban upheld their part of the agreement, something they most certainly were not doing and which began as soon as idiot Biden, weak, incompetent and stupid, too over.
Idiot Biden could have paused the withdrawal unless and until the Taliban came back into compliance. But he wanted a splash, targeting September 11 as his pull-out date. But the Taliban scolded him, so he obeyed their orders and left August 31st, in disgrace, in disaster, in embarrassment.
He did get to kill 7 children and an aid worker though, before he left. Sort of the idiot Biden version of a cherry on top.
How many troops did Milley recommend to keep in Afghanistan after idiot Biden pulled them all out? Did you hear his recommendation? Here, let me help you out.
2,500. The exact number Trump had there, before idiot Biden pulled all the troops out and abandoned Bagram.
2,500.
I guess the question is, did idiot Biden turn the withdrawal into a total disaster on purpose or is he really that f**king stupid? Truly, it is difficult to tell.
Biden said they planned for every contingency. Do you give him credit for that?
With respect to the 122K most of who are dirtbags.

It’s All Theater: Joe Biden Staged COVID Booster On Mockup Set Complete With Fake Outdoor Background
notice that the camera was facing his right side and not the left. 99% he never got the shot, or a fake needle was used.
Rudyard Kipling wrote a very interesting poem “If” It address the value of a person. It take about 3 min. to read and a lot longer to digest. It is a good read. Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller demonstrates quite a few nuances of a tolerant person.
I wonder if Milley called his PLA buddies and asked them, “Hey, when you have an officer that doesn’t have the proper group-think, what do you do to them?”
Someone should have briefed Scheller on the proper way to show disagreement with leadership. Instead of standing up and taking responsibility for your thoughts, he is supposed to make up lies about the President (if there actually is one at the time; might not apply in this case) and make secret “whistle blower” accusations, like the chickenshit Vindman did.
The Wrong Man Is In The Brig – Put Biden On Trial
https://andmagazine.com/talk/2021/09/28/the-wrong-man-is-in-the-brig-put-biden-on-trial/
Scumbag prosecutors tried to throw the book at Scheller. Scheller openly admitted to his remarks and said he still stood by them. Lt. Col. Scheller is courageous and principled, unlike those in this corrupt regime. The judge would have none of this persecution, fined Scheller a month’s pay and called for an investigation of the persecution.
Let’s go Brandon.
Biden ended a 20-year foreign war, and I’m glad that someone finally had the courage to take the political heat and actually DO IT.
Anyone could have surrendered in shame at any time. Idiot Biden did nothing any elementary school girl couldn’t have done. Idiot Biden is an absolute disastrous failure.
joe surrendered to the taliban
