36 members of Congress sign letter calling for Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller's immediate release
2021-10-02
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Fat chance of that. They spent four years calling Trump a fascist. Now they're openly wearing their black shirts. Their motto is Semper tyrannus.

Even worse: Black shirts with red arm bands.

"First they came for the dipshits, and I didn't care, 'cuz I'm not a dipshit.

"Then they came for the stoopid, and I didn't care. I didn't realize how stoopid I was..." You know the rest.

#10  I will never be an Ex-Marine Kofi, that imprinting from 1969 is for life. I will be a Retired Army LTC, who remains proud of the USMC and what it did in my life at the beginning, and am a pissed off member of the USMC fraternity over current leadership who don't have the traditional understanding to lead it.

#7  even the UCMJ is not immune to the American prohibition against "Selective Prosecution". Lt.Col. Scheller lawyer will no doubt bring this up.
"Colonel" Vindman, "General" Milley and many other PRO-Leftist military get free-passes for criticizing their superiors, but they throw Scheller in prison...in solitary confinement!

Lt.Col. Scheller TRIED to resign his commission...they refused so they could make an example of him. AND degrade morale in the USMC at the same time. A TWO-FER!

For 42 years (since 1979) I have been a "Former Marine"...short for "Former Active Duty Marine". The feeling most of us had was: "Once a Marine, always a Marine".

I am now an EX-Marine. I have worn a Marine Corps ballcap pretty much every day, as a way to show my support...and received hundreds of "Semper Fi" responses from my fellow "Former Marines" over the years. NO MORE.

No one but me will care, but on Monday I am boxing up collection of Marine Corps ballcaps, t-shirts, etc, and mailing them to the Commandant with a (believe it or not) respectful letter explaining why. He will NOT give a damn, but it will make ME feel better.

Signed, an EX-Marine

#3  Meh. I agree with the guy, but he disobeyed orders. Part of civil disobedience is knowing you'll be punished but doing the right thing anyway.

#1  US CODE:
Original appointments in the grades of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel in the Regular Army, Regular Air Force, and Regular Marine Corps in the grades of lieutenant commander, commander, and captain in the Regular Navy, and in the equivalent grades in the Regular Space Force shall be made by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.

Perhaps 50 senators could agree on no further appointments at this level will be approved unless & until Scheller is released. As if!
