Lt. Stuart Scheller Charged with Six Violations, Referred to Special Court-Martial

[Gunny]

Not sure here, as a non-military member - as to whether the charges meet the 'crime'? I have seen men before condemn in some manner - but these 6 charges seem out of the norm to me.

@Gunny and other military folks - is this on target?

Lt. Stuart Scheller Charged with Six Violations, Referred to Special Court-Martial

North Carolina – Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller was released from the brig at Camp Lejeune on Tuesday and formally charged with six violations and referred to a special court-martial on Wednesday.

Marine Corps Times reported:



Scheller was thrown into the brig for daring to rebuke military leadership for surrendering to the Taliban, arming the terrorists group with $83 billion in US weapons, and stranding thousands of Americans and green card holders in the country.

When 13 American servicemen and women were slaughtered by an ISIS bomber Lt. Col. Scheller spoke out.

Scheller was placed in pre-trial confinement on September 27.

Last week before he was arrested and sent to the brig, Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller went on a rampage against President Trump and his family on Facebook.

Scheller had this to say about President Trump and his family:

I don't see dereliction of duty, nor Art 90, willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer. Those two look like pile-on's. I would have to see the specific charge for each because we're talking Marine Corps, and don't know what he does 24/7. Article 133 is a given in a dog and pony show at this level. Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.

Contempt and disrespect he may as well raise his right hand to. He earned those.

There's no Article 134 charges. That Article basically states anything you've done that we don't like that there isn't an article for. That's where they usually pile on. In this case, the charges are serious enough that piling on isn't necessary.

To me, there was no doubt he was gonna get tossed. But the charges did seem to be overkill, so wanted to find out for sure.

Did I miss why he was yelling about trump when he was complaining about actions under biden?

He was yelling about Trump "dividing the Nation". That came about because a bunch of Trump supporters jumped the gun and started up a collection for him.

To me? Sounds like a f-ing Marine. Ooh-RAH! F*ck ALL politicians. don't know their asses from a hole in the ground. The Marine Corps would function just fine without their anchor-asses hanging around our necks all the time.

Guess I'm getting carried away. Again

I'm surprised there's not more. They could get him for counts on each Article. Looks like they're jsut going for the main charges to get it over with. The Marine Corps hates negative publicity almost as much as commies.

Excuse my jaded thoughts, but I just HAVE TO wonder what this guy's got lined up in the civilian World worth tanking a guaranteed retirement. Even if passed for promotion, a LtCol can stay 20+ years and retire.

[JakeStarkey]

That makes sense to me, Gunny. The LTC either has something lined up, or he comes from lots of money.

He seems to be mad at the world. I wonder what is most bugging his butt.

I've been wondering the very same thing.

He seems to be mad at the world. I wonder what is most bugging his butt.

I wonder how many deployments he has had to the sandbox. How many men under his command have been lost?

Perhaps he has a severe case of PTSD.

Considering that possibility and what Biden did with no apparent objection by senior leaders, I can see he may have just reached his human limits.

I have little doubt. There are probably THOUSANDS of other members of our military who wish they could be as vocal as the LTCOL has been. BUT...and that's a BIG BUT as Gunny will probably agree (I suspect). Few are willing to go as far as the LTCOL because they fear the same RETRIBUTION we see he is being subjected to as we speak.
Everyone in uniform knows the UCMJ (or they should), but in the LTCOL's case There are times when STAYING QUIET to prevent the TOP BRASS from getting FLACK, or made to look bad...SOMEBODY HAS TO SPEAK UP...FINALLY.
That's what he has done, and will now pay for it to PREVENT THE KISS-ASSERS from being exposed to the public by TELLING HOW TERRIBLE THEY ARE...HONESTLY.
Personally. I experienced a similar event during my time in the navy, which eventually (Honestly) prevented me from going any further up in Rank...just prior to the GULF WAR.
