USMC Lt. Col. Scheller sentence to reprimand, forfeiture in pay

The U.S. Marine who, on social media, had the stones to criticize the military's and Biden administration's mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal has been issued a letter of reprimand and a forfeiture of $5,000 worth of pay for a month after he pleaded guilty to all charges in his court-martial hearing.

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. pled guilty to all six misdemeanor-level charges on Thursday. These charges include: willfully disobeying a superior [read 'inferior'] commissioned officer, dereliction in the performance of duties [because he is not supposed to criticize incompetence of higher-ranked officers] and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.

On Friday, yhe judge, said he would have given a two-month forfeiture of pay, but let it slide since Scheller had previously spent 9 days in the brig for pre-trial punishment [my take].

Scheller was freed from the brig last week where he was being held for refusing to give up on his personal campaign to point out the breathtaking incompetence of those leading the clown show in the Afghanistan clusterfrack of a withdrawal that saw hundreds killed, including 13 US servicemen and women and dozens of Afghan-American citizens.

The judge said he does not condone Scheller’s offenses, but noted his 17 year Marine Corps career, saying that before his [selfless act of courage] social media incident, his record was outstanding and that he weighed this heavily.

The letter of reprimand was much less than what was recommended. The prosecution recommended a forfeiture of $5,000 of pay for 6 months and a letter of reprimand. The maximum penalty could have been forfeiture of 2/3 monthly pay for 12 months and a letter of reprimand.

Lt. Col. Scheller was relieved of his command at a Camp Lejeune infantry training battalion in August after he posted the video to Facebook and LinkedIn discussing the bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

"Did anyone raise their hand and say, ‘We completely messed this up?'" Scheller had asked in a video. "I’m not saying we can take back what has been done. All I asked for was accountability, for people to comment on what I said and to say, ‘Yes. Mistakes were made.’ And had they done that I would've gone back into rank and file, submitted, and accomplished what I wanted."

His other charges include contempt toward officers, disrespect toward superior commissioned officers and failure to obey order or regulation given by Biden sycophants.

Bergdahl has audacity of hope to ask Obama for pardon

Military traitor Bowe Bergdahl deserted his Army company in Afghanistan, walked toward the enemy, was captured and held for five years, and a half dozen men were killed trying to find him. 

Now POS Bergdahl wants President Obama to pardon him, but it would have been better if he had asked the families of those who died trying to find him for a pardon. I doubt that he would get one from them, but Obama is an old softie when it comes to deserters and Islamic deserters especially.

In a letter to the president, Bergdahl thanked Obama for rescuing him in May 2014. He was exchanged for five Taliban scumcrumpets from Gitmo. In addition, he asked for a pardon from the so-called commander-in-chief.

The Pentagon and White House had no comment about Bergdahl's request, but Obama defended the Bergdahl trade of the five top jihadists for a lowly traitor and deserter. The deserter's lawyer also had no comment.

Bergdahl's court-martial trial was delayed for the second time and is set for May 15th at Fort Bragg, NC. He faces charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy and could face up to life in prison, but there is a better chance that he will be struck by Haley's comet next Saturday at noon than get any jail time with this administration.

Let's face it, if Hillary got away with an illegal server with classified information on it and lied about it, there's hardly any reason to believe that POS Bergdahl will suffer any further consequences than he already has--poor dear.

Bradley Manning: Hero of Traitor

If you don't know who Bradley Manning is, you probably need help reading this blog. He was charged with 22 offenses including the communication of national defense information and aiding the enemy. The 5 foot 2 inch Manning gave the information to WikiLeaks and they posted hundreds of thousands of these classified documents and video online. The material included a July 12, 2007 video of a Baghdad airstrike and an airstrike in Granai, Afghanistan. There were also about 250 thousand sensitive diplomatic cables  and half a million army reports which came to be known as the Iraqi and Afhan War logs. Little Manning has the distinction to having leaked the largest number of restricted documents ever to the public.
