Summary

A 17 year Marine speaks truth to power and demands accountability from his senior leaders. This is a true hero and this is an American who has done nothing but fight and die for his country. This video will get you fired if you don t do what he says. This is not a protest, this is a call for accountability from the highest levels of leadership in the Marine Corps and the U.S. military. This man is a hero and a warrior and this video needs to be seen. If you don't like what you see in this video, you're not going to like what this guy has to say. This guy is right on target with what he's asking for and we need to listen to it. We need to take care of people like this because this is the type of person that should be in charge, not the incompetent morons that have been there for so long doing nothing other than making America lose, other than putting us last in the world behind China and Russia while they focus on their woke nonsense. Don't forget, if you're one of the woke generals, you can go and try to troll Tucker Carlson on TV, or try to t troll Tucker on TV and talk about white rage and critical theory on the internet, but you can't ask a reasonable question about an incompetent disaster that's going on. You're not gonna get much better than this. This guy has done more than enough, and we're going to need to do something about it! Thank you for standing up for our troops, and standing up to the flagrante and saying, enough to do our country, and saying enough is enough, enough, we're tired of this is enough. And remember, we have enough, let's do our part to make America better, enough's enough, not less, enough enough, more, and enough, right? Let's make sure we're not less of a better than the other side of the deal, and more of us do better than less than us than we deserve to be a better, better, more like us, more than we get a chance to have a better life, more respect and a better day to do more of a chance at a better world, and that's what we deserve a better shot at our day to be heard and a place in the next one, right here, and a more chance to do the job we're all in front of us, and not less than a better one.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Guys, watch this video of a 17-year service member finally saying enough is enough, just asking for simple accountability.
00:00:06.000 And remember that that today will get you fired.
00:00:09.000 In a few hours, this viral video got this gentleman fired.
00:00:13.000 Now, don't forget, if you're one of the woke generals, you can go and try to troll Tucker Carlson on TV. You can talk about white rage and critical theory and how important it is to make us a stronger fighting force to learn those things.
00:00:28.000 But you can't Ask a reasonable question about an incompetent disaster that's going on.
00:00:36.000 Whatever happens, let's make sure we help this gentleman.
00:00:39.000 I'll offer myself up.
00:00:41.000 We gotta take care of guys like this because this is the type of person that should be running our wars.
00:00:47.000 This is the type of person that should be in charge, not the incompetent morons that have been there for so long doing nothing other than making America lose, other than putting us last place behind China and Russia while they focus on their woke nonsense.
00:01:05.000 This is a true hero.
00:01:07.000 This is American. This is speaking truth to power.
00:01:11.000 Watch it. Good evening.
00:01:14.000 My name is Lieutenant Colonel Stu Scheller, United States Marine Corps.
00:01:18.000 I'm the current Battalion Commander for Advanced Infantry Training Battalion.
00:01:22.000 I've been in the Marine Infantry for 17 years.
00:01:25.000 I started my tour with Victor-18.
00:01:28.000 It's the current unit that's doing perimeter security, dealing with the mess that's going on there.
00:01:33.000 You can see open source reporting that there was an explosion and some people were killed.
00:01:37.000 I know through my inside channels that one of those people that were killed was someone that I have a personal relationship with.
00:01:43.000 Won't go into more details because the families are still being notified.
00:01:47.000 Not making this video because it's potentially an emotional time.
00:01:53.000 Making it because I have a growing discontent and contempt for my perceived ineptitude at the foreign policy level.
00:02:00.000 And I want to specifically ask some questions to some of my senior leaders.
00:02:05.000 And I'll say, as a person that's not at 20 years, I feel like I have a lot to lose.
00:02:13.000 If you play chess, you can only see two to three moves out because there's too many variables.
00:02:17.000 I thought through if I post this video, what might happen to me, especially if the video picks up traction, if I have the courage to post it.
00:02:26.000 But I think what you believe in can only be defined by what you're willing to risk.
00:02:31.000 So if I'm willing to risk my current battalion commander seat, my retirement, my family's stability to say some of the things that I want to say, I think it gives me some moral high ground to demand the same honesty, integrity, accountability from my senior leaders.
00:02:48.000 And so I want to start with...
00:02:50.000 We'll just use the Marine Corps.
00:02:55.000 We'll just stick with the Marine Corps.
00:02:56.000 So in the current fallout of Afghanistan, a lot of Marines were posted on social media, and in response to that, the Commandant published a letter, which is the Service Chief of the Marine Corps.
00:03:07.000 And I want to read from it.
00:03:09.000 Dated 18 August, so only a week ago.
00:03:12.000 The Commandant Sur, you wrote, some of you may be struggling with a simple question.
00:03:16.000 Was it all worth it? We want you to know that your service is meaningful, powerful, and important.
00:03:20.000 You fought for the Marine to your left and the Marine to your right.
00:03:22.000 You never let them down. Then you go on to say that, you know, if we're struggling, we should seek counseling, which, you know, I get it.
00:03:29.000 People have killed people.
00:03:33.000 I've killed people and I seek counseling and that's fine.
00:03:37.000 There's a time and place for that.
00:03:38.000 But the reason people are so upset on social media right now is not because the Marine on the battlefield let someone down.
00:03:46.000 That service member has always rose to the occasion and done extraordinary things.
00:03:49.000 People are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, we messed this up.
00:03:58.000 If an 05 battalion commander has the simplest live fire incident EO complaint, boom, fire.
00:04:04.000 But we have a Secretary of Defense that testified to Congress in May that the Afghan National Security Force could withstand the Taliban advance.
00:04:11.000 We have chairmen of Joint Chiefs, who the commandant is a member of that, who's supposed to advise on military policy.
00:04:16.000 We have a Marine combatant commander All of these people are supposed to advise, and I'm not saying we've got to be in Afghanistan forever, but I am saying, did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, the strategic air barriers, before we evacuate everyone?
00:04:34.000 Did anyone do that?
00:04:36.000 And when you didn't think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, we completely messed this up?
00:04:40.000 I've got battalion commander friends right now that are posting similar things, and they're saying, you know, Wondering if all the lives were lost and if it was in vain, all those people that we've lost over the last 20 years.
00:04:56.000 And he goes on to say that we're all part of a chain.
00:04:59.000 While every link may not be tested, the strength of the chain is only as strong as each link and you got to be a good link, something like that.
00:05:07.000 And what I'll say is, from my position, Potentially all those people did die in vain if we don't have senior leaders that own up and raise their hand and say we did not do this well in the end.
00:05:25.000 Without that we just keep repeating the same mistakes.
00:05:28.000 This amalgamation of the economic slash corporate slash political slash higher military ranks are not holding up their end of the bargain.
00:05:43.000 I want to say this very strongly.
00:05:47.000 I have been fighting for 17 years.
