Big money — from more than 27,000 donors so far — is pouring in for a US Marine thrown in the brig after he slammed his superiors over the botched withdrawal in Afghanistan.
Lt. Col Stuart Scheller, 40, a father of three and a Bronze Star recipient, has been stuck in solitary confinement at Camp LeJeune.
Scheller went viral after he criticized America’s exit from Afghanistan in a series of videos.
He can speak to his attorney but his parents, Stuart Sr. and Cathy, said they were only allowed to speak to him just once, for 90 seconds, last week.

WNU Editor: Wow! For someone who is not able to communicate to the outside world, he has a lot of supporters.

I'm a vet. I have many family members a close friends who served in the military or as first responders. Everyone is beyond livid at the DoD's treatment of Scheller.
It's true that political statements are illegal in the military. But with the outrageous partisan behavior of top brass and the selective persecution of any conservative service member, it's clear that the system is unfair.
Locking the man up in solitary confinement tells me they are treating him like a terrorist. Just like the Jan 6 trespassers.
And the Marine who lifted the baby up over the fence in Kabul is also under "investigation" for appearing on the stage with President Trump.
This is all becoming quite too much to tolerate.
2.2min, great
The enemy forces will send 2.3m off lawyers after him
They don't come to face you with guns in this new war
We are in 5th gen warfare, globally and locally, blended with cultural warfare
Censorship, deplatforming, debanking, shadow banning, slander
Why do you think CNN, Fox, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are such great tools?
In the end, money moves the world, but the ability to stop you from speaking and reaching people while amplifying your lies and then on top take the money of dissidents is where control is executed.
And the internet of things and electric cars and carbon credit and social credit score and constant self censorship are part of this
And the government long understood that they can technically legally do this through the direction of corporations, ie fascism
It's out in the open for everyone to see.
Today he took a giant dump on President Trump supporters and the MAGA movement.
Will the donations continue? Buyers remorse?

From solitary confinement?
GOTTA,
LINK?,
R,
I disagree with the colonel about Trump being divisive. Any Republican President is considered divisive by the Left. Nine months into George Bush's term, I though Democrats were going to impeach him. This was during the time he was reaching across the aisle and working with Teddy Kennedy.
So the colonel is wrong and it grates, but regardless, he is gong to be backed.

Yep. Looked for it and found the link. I agree with your remarks. Sort of surprising, but doesn't change my support for Scheller.

This has nothing to do with Trump.
The real story is the direction the US military is heading under the current Pentagon leadership, and it is not a good one.
WNU,
Scheller mentioned Trump. So there is a response. It is a side issue. But any issue, side or not can be turned into a wedge issue. At least they will try.
The main issue and the only one that matters is the directions of top military leadership. It has been pointed out that two border patrol agents faced more consequences for doing their job than Milley or Austin have faced.
Many generals need to go.
Maj Gen Ordered 50+ Evacuees off One of Last Flights out of Kabul to Make Room for Taliban Souvenir
"According to troops on the scene, at least 50 people and perhaps as many as 100 people were left at Kabul to make room for the Hilux."
Austin
Millkey
Don-a-ho
Of course, if one of your staff after hours call vice president Biden a bad name, Bite Me, then your (McChrystal) career is over.
Getting people killed does not rise to that level.
"These sources say that Donahue provided the Taliban with a full manifest of passengers aboard the flights including passport information, photos, and biometric information for those passengers. The flights included US troops, Afghans who were employed by the Department of Defense, key human intelligence (HUMINT) assets, and other SIV applicants and their families."

A used pick-up truck is worth more to a general than 50 to 100 lives.
2.2 million is a lot of representation. Bet the brass did not expect it. Bet they want a do-over.
I am sure the brass will get their pre-determined outcome, but to get it they will have to dig themselves deeper into the hole.
