Former U.S. Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller is calling out those go-along-to-get along military leaders he claims are responsible for the botched U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan amidst the practically overnight takeover of the country by the Taliban. The blame particularly includes, but is not limited to, Marine General Frank McKenzie, the U.S. Central Command boss.
Nobody responsible for humiliating America in the eyes of the world, while needlessly getting 13 service members blown up, leaving hundreds, if not thousands of Americans and Afghan allies behind, not to mention abandoning Bagram Airbase with its $85 billion in high tech US military equipment, weaponry, vehicles and aircraft has paid the price.
But Lt. Col Stuart Scheller, the former Marine officer who demanded accountability from senior military leaders for their role in the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, was taken to a military brig for allegedly breaking a gag order, and subsequently discharged from the military, losing ALL of his retirement benefits because of it.
Scheller originally gained attention for a video he made on the same day that 13 U.S. service members were killed in a suicide bombing attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan, which was then being used as the evacuation point for Americans and Afghans leaving the country. In his original video, Scheller said, “People are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability and saying ‘we messed this up.’”
In a subsequent video, Scheller said he was seeking a way to bring charges against Marine Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), for dereliction of duty.

I would like to see Mr Trump offering this guy a good job… Maybe in Security Detail..

BareNakedIslam says
Great idea.
Az gal says
Under leftist policies, our military has become a laughingstock. The left shifts the blame to Trump, of course.

Putin must be pissing himself laughing, seeing what a pathetic, leaderless rabble we have become!
Xi must be pissing himself laughing, seeing what a pathetic, leaderless rabble we have become!
Kim Jong-un must be pissing himself laughing, seeing what a pathetic, leaderless rabble we have become!
Still, the important thing is that while the Talirats were busy massacring the Afghans that we had given our promise to protect, the General Milley was pushing through Gender Based Analysis training for the U.S. military. Milley should be court-martialled!

The world is laughing at America under Biden.

Tomorrow our woke diplomats are going to negotiate the fate of Ukraine with the Russians. Putin is only demanding very specific security guarantees from NATO and the USA. If he doesn’t get them you can be sure the Russians will be in Kiev in a matter of hours and if NATO doesn’t retreat the Russian flag will once again be flying in a week from the Brandenburg Gate. Our woke military is led by fools and cowards and will be lucky if they can pull off a Dunkirk. Col Schiller isn’t the only good officer that has been removed. It has been hundreds of our best. Our military is now led by woke fools more concerned about getting their woke gender pronouns right than protecting the nation and

My grandparents came from Kiev, while it was still Russian.
PanamaPat says
My great-grandmother was born in St.Petersburg, escaped, and lived long enough to see the Hammer and Sickle pulled down off the Kremlin. IMHO the Ukrainians will be far better off with Putin in charge than Zalinsky nd his band of woke clowns.
BareNakedIslam says
I don’t know how the Ukrainians feel.
Hartmut says
Ukrainians are entirely divided.
While historically the western part is Austrian-Hungarian the eastern part is mostly pro Russian who did not fare too bad under the previous oligarchy (whether we call that democratic or not is an entirely different debate). Which makes it tough since the Ukraine is not a nation by composition of it’s civilians.
But to be fair: this country isn’t either any more.
Steve says
Living here in Kyiv I can assure you that while Zelinsky has his detractors people here have zero lost love for Putin or Mother Russia. [Over 14,000 + dead and over 1.5 + Million Internally Displaced Persons is not the way for Putin to win anyone over.] The only place you find that is in Eastern Ukraine, the Donbas, among the old folks that have a nostalgia for the days of Stalin when everything was fine according to them. While the Ukrainian Army alone cannot stop the Russians the Russians will not get a free pass. It could very well approach a Pyrrhic Victory and never mind the Partisan/Guerilla Warfare that will ensue. On and don’t forget the four countries that share a border with Ukraine are members of NATO. Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania will not sit still. Their memories of what Russians did to them is still very much alive. For example take a tour of Auschwitz II (Birkenau) and listen to what the Polish Guides tell you about their feelings toward Russians.

Former UK commander in Afghanistan says Biden shouldn’t be impeached: ‘He should be court-martialed’
‘The whole world just became vastly more dangerous,’ Col Richard Kemp said on ‘Life, Liberty & Levin’
President Biden, as commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces, should be court-martialed for “betraying the United States of America and the United States’ armed forces,” said the former commander of British military forces in Afghanistan.
Col. Richard Kemp, CBE, made the pointed recommendation on Sunday’s “Life, Liberty & Levin,” telling host Mark Levin that Biden humiliated both the American military and its citizens.
He also commented on calls for impeachment from members of Congress and other critics.
At least one Republican House lawmaker, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, has drafted impeachment articles against the president.
“I don’t say this lightly and I’ve never said it about anybody else – any other leader in this position. People have been talking about impeaching President Biden,” Kemp told Levin………..
Rebel Patriot says
Nothing shows what America has become, like a bunch of civilian and military leaders with their tails between their legs. Damn sickening!!
