This dude doesn’t know when to STFU! Maybe he’s trying to dig a hole back to Afghanistan...
Task & Purpose
A Marine infantry officer and former battalion commander who was relieved of command for demanding on social media that top military leaders be held accountable for the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal is now attempting to be the greatest barracks lawyer of all time.
Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller appeared in a Sept. 16 video claiming that he intends to charge Marine Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr., head of U.S. Central Command, with dereliction of duty. In the video, Scheller said he was continuing to speak out even though it could jeopardize a deal that he claimed the Marine Corps had offered him, under which he would accept nonjudicial punishment, resign his commission, forfeit his military pension, and accept a general discharge under honorable conditions rather than face a court-martial.

On his Facebook page, Scheller elaborated that he plans to file 13 specifications of the charge against McKenzie – one for each of the service members killed in the Aug. 26 suicide bomb attack on Hamid Karzai International Airport’s Abbey Gate.
Scheller also posted what appears to be a text message exchange that he had with an unnamed military attorney, who told him: “I advise you not to pursue this idea of preferring charges against a senior commander as it will only cause you prejudice and potential legal harm.”
I wrote about this piece of work almost a month ago. He’s got a bug up his ass about accountability regarding the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and decided to shoot off his mouth... It cost him his job. Instead of just taking his lumps Stuart doubled, tripled, then quadrupled down by resigning dramatically swearing to “bring the whole fucking system down.”
Apparently the Marine Corps decided not to accept this officer’s video resignation of August 29th. Instead they expanded their investigation and offered him a deal to avoid a Court Martial. And true to form instead of accepting those consequences LtCol Scheller has opted to quintuple down…
Unfortunately for Stuart that’s not how the UCMJ works… That’s not how any of this works.
