Marine who criticized Afghanistan withdrawal is locked up HotAir

A few weeks ago, when we learned that Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller had posted a video to social media critical of the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and calling for someone to be held accountable, it was obvious that he knew he was putting his career on the line. In fact, he was quite candid about it, recognizing that it would likely cost him his career and his retirement benefits. Sure enough, shortly thereafter, he announced that he was resigning his commission effective immediately. After that, it seemed that all that was left to do was to finish up the departure paperwork and pack his things to head home. But as Jim Geraghty reports in today s Morning Jolt, that s not what ended up happening. Scheller may have been done with the Marines, but the Marines were not done with him. Lt. Col. Scheller is now locked up in the brig and awaiting court martial because of his criticism.

And I don’t suppose he can count of President Joe for a pardon.
