Marine officer demands that Biden and command be held responsible for the disaster

Even the US military in the leadership position is losing patience and someone is starting to openly contest Biden's policy. There are numerous examples of retired former military officers publicly demanding that the current administration hold itself accountable for the progress of the evacuation and how it is ending in a tragic and botched way, but it is incredibly rare, indeed unheard of, to see criticism from. of an active duty officer attacking the Pentagon directly.

But now an officer has made a video, which has gone viral, in which he directly asks that those responsible for the disaster pay for their mistakes. Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller until Friday was an active duty Marine infantry battalion commander who directly accused the Biden administration: "That they are held accountable for their own mistakes"

Lieutenant Colonel Scheller was formerly commander of the department which is now in charge of controlling the perimeter of the Kabul airport. He knows very well that he will be punished for demanding that his superiors be held accountable for what happened with this retreat. But he still asks crucial questions about the responsibilities of his superiors, citing several events:

• in May the secretary of defense had testified at the congress on the solidity of the Afghan armed forces;
• neither the Supreme Commands nor the Marine Operations Commander ever said that retreating in this way was a good idea, if abandoning the US airbase in Baghram, fully equipped and prepared for any eventuality, was a right choice before retreat was finished.

Serious and objective questions, which even the commanders in the field ask themselves, forced to face the cancellation of what has been done in the last twenty years of service in a few days, despite the efforts made. The lieutenant colonel consciously destroyed his career in a few minutes in exchange for dignity. Obviously the high degrees don't care.

but at the end of the day it was confirmed that he was promptly relieved of his command for his statements. “I am willing to throw everything away to tell my senior executives: 'I ask for responsibility,'” said the lieutenant colonel in the Facebook video which has already racked up millions of views across various platforms.
