You can bet the Pentagon wants to put a lid on this Scheller story, but they might be too late. Multiple fk ups, an apparent refusal to learn from past mistakes, an over-emphasis on politcal correctness at the expense of actual training to fight and kill, and a "don't give a shit about the grunts" attitude may have finally brought about the tipping point. Assholes asked for it. Here's hoping they get what's coming to them.
In a subsequent video, Scheller said he was seeking a way to bring charges against Marine Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), for dereliction of duty.
Scheller had continued to criticize military leaders in other videos and social media posts before he was reportedly subjected to a gag order. In a September 25 Facebook post, Scheller criticized Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, as well as retired Generals James Mattis, David Petraeus and Michael Flynn.
