This was the next foreseeable development in the saga of the Marine who couldn’t stop posting videos and criticizing his superior officers on social media. We have followed the saga here from the beginning. Just go to the magnifying glass in the upper portion of the home page and type in Stuart Scheller if you want to see earlier chapters in this drama. Scheller indicated that he had a “personal relationship” with one of the 13 service members who lost their lives in the evacuation of Afghanistan but did not elaborate. That information would be key because it apparently triggered something in Scheller. At least that seems a reasonable assumption to make.

Here’s a link to a story in Task & Purpose. You already know most of the facts. The big question here is “why?” And only Scheller can reveal that.
As to whether he’s still planning to “bring the whole fucking thing down” if you read today’s post, he’s critical of Trump so that puts him out of MAGA world and everybody else simply looks upon the man with wonder and pity.
I wonder if his friend who died would have wanted him to do this? I tend to think not. The man’s self-destruction is over the top. Whatever point he sought to make could have been made at less cost to himself and others.
He lost his marriage and everything because of this – wonder if it was a woman.
U get to be a lieutenant colonel in the marines by FOLLOWING orders without question. Ur supreme commander is the president. When he leads a violent coup in VIOLATION of his oath to the constitution, people, who are used to following orders, have a choice to make. They either honor their OWN oath, or they stick with unquestioned, misplaced loyalty. Just remember how people stick with what they know, & what reinforces their world view. The tragic flaw of the human species.
They’re expected to refuse *unlawful* orders. Which vaccine mandates are not, but insurrection is.
True. However, we are creatures of habit. Especially if one has to sacrifice something to protest authority. Being in the right is no shield to further injustice. Ask the colonel who testified at the first impeachment trial. He, & his brother get their careers ruined by the criminal, who, despite clear evidence of guilt, walks.
