A decorated U.S. Marine Corps Officer has
been relieved of command forced to
undergo a mental health check and is
being threatened with a court martial
after posting a video demanding
accountability from senior leadership
over the withdrawal in Afghanistan
last Thursday after 13 service members
and over 100 civilians were killed
following an attack at the Kabul airport.
Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller posted
a video on Facebook sharing his grief
and frustration
in the video he called on military
leadership to take accountability for
the strategic decision to abandon Bagram
Air Base and leave Afghanistan without
evacuating civilians first.
See's a clip
from that video.
He has been fighting for 17 years and is
willing to throw away his retirement to take a stand
and demand accountability.
He feels others should do the same.
He wonders what many of us have, what would happen
if we all stood up to these corporate interests and said,
"No More Wars, we won't fight them?"
In the current fallout of Afghanistan
a lot of marines were posted on social
media and in response to that the
commandant published a letter which is
the service chief of the marine corps.
The debate at the end of this is rather interesting.
