U.S. Marine Officer Who Went Viral Blasting Military Leaders Over The Disaster In Afghanistan Is Jailed After Refusing Orders To Stop Posting On Social Media

Marine Lt. Col Stuart Scheller.  

Task & Purpose: Marine officer who blasted leaders over Afghanistan withdrawal now in the brig 

“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud.” Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller, the Marine officer whose meteoric rise to internet fandom began with a video criticizing military leadership over Afghanistan, is currently in the brig, his father told Task & Purpose. 

“All our son did is ask the questions that everybody was asking themselves, but they were too scared to speak out loud,” said Stu Scheller Sr. “He was asking for accountability. In fact, I think he even asked for an apology that we made mistakes, but they couldn’t do that, which is mind-blowing.” 

He said that his son is expected to appear before a military hearing on Thursday. 

“They had a gag order on him and asked him not to speak,” the senior Scheller said. “He did, and they incarcerated him. They don’t know what to do with him.” 

After this story was first published, the Marine Corps issued a statement confirming that Scheller has been sent to the brig.
