The officer who asked for responsibility for the Afghan bankruptcy is now in jail
The US marine resigned from command after criticizing the leadership of the military leaders in managing the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan would be in jail.
" All our son did was ask the questions that everyone was asking, but they were too scared to speak out loud, " Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller's father, Stuart Scheller Sr, told Task & Purpose.
“ He asked for responsibility. In fact, I think he even apologized for making mistakes, but they couldn't do it, which is mind blowing . "
Scheller first posted a video on his personal Facebook account on Aug.26 criticizing Afghanistan's withdrawal, which sparked mixed reactions. Defending that video, he posted an additional clip saying he was asking for " the accountability of my highest leaders " for " the obvious mistakes that have been made ".
“ I'm not saying we can undo what has been done. All I asked for was the responsibility, for people to comment on what I said and say, "Yes, mistakes have been made ," "Scheller said at the time, announcing that he was stepping down from his post as a lieutenant colonel. .
Scheller's initial video was released on the same day that 13 US soldiers and more than 100 Afghans were killed in an attack outside Kabul International Airport. The terrorist group ISIS-K, affiliated with ISIS, claimed responsibility for the attack.
" They issued an order to silence him and asked him not to speak, " said the father.
“ He did, and they jailed him. They don't know what to do with him “.
A spokesperson for the Marine Corps Training and Education Command said in a statement that Scheller is "currently in custody" pending a preliminary hearing.
“ The time, date and place of the proceedings have not been determined. Lieutenant Colonel Scheller will have all due process, ”the statement continued.
A rigid and incapable command, in history, has never been able to accept criticism. But then it was blown away by events.
