If you are an army officer, publicizing your concerns about the progress of the military or your particular service will almost guarantee to provide you with all the fun and entertainment that you can reasonably handle. However, in lesson plans and speeches, where integrity and straightforwardness are regarded as honors, the reality is that at the top, you should shut up and follow the instructions. Deviations from the norms are at your own risk.
If you do not agree to inculcate racism into the army, and you hold a command position, then you cannot express any concerns about the very, very dark place that is leading us. (By the way, how often do you think you can force young whites, I said that whites sit in class and are ridiculed and humiliated because of their race, instead of many people saying, f*** it, if you Think I am an oppressor, then I can be your bilberry?) For example, when Space Army Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lommier wrote a book criticizing the implantation of Marxist ideology into the military through orders, he He was relieved of his order.
Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier bluntly said “@塔克卡尔森 Today,” he was removed from office for calling for more and more support for ultra-left ideology within the US military. https://t.co/shdBYgCbgI pic.twitter.com/ri4hfPV3kk

Sometimes, criticism may cross the line. I think Harry Truman is necessary to rescue Douglas MacArthur, and he has shown amazing courage on behalf of Truman. Major John Singer twice publicly condemned Jimmy Carter and deliberately ignited his career. But what we see today is that even the misguided senior leaders such as MacArthur and Singralub are not principled.
Instead, we are troubled by flattery and time servers like Mark Milly, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who shamelessly imitate Biden’s White House talking points and do whatever stupid things they are told to do—no matter what. How many American troops were killed (see SecDef Austin and JCS Chairman Milley stated that they are fully committed to criticizing race theory at the expense of combat efficiency).

The last one shows how much the army has become subservient to the left. I don’t think any sane person thinks that evacuation from Kabul is a better option than Bagram, but we asked Milli to defend this decision as if it were self-evident.

Today, on Facebook, we see what the principles look like. I’m sure that when Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Stewart Scherer made this video, he expected that his command time would be handful, but he did more of what an officer should do. He called on his chain of command because they failed to maintain confidence in their troops.
Good evening, I am Lieutenant Colonel Stu Scheller of the US Marine Corps, currently the commander of the Advanced Infantry Training Camp. I have worked in the Marine Corps infantry for 17 years. I started my tour from Victor 1-8, which is currently the unit responsible for perimeter security, dealing with the chaos that occurred there. You can see open source reports that there was an explosion and some people were killed. I know through my internal channels that one of the people killed was someone I had a personal relationship with. I will not go into details, because the family is still being notified.
I will not make this video because it may be an emotional moment. I succeeded because I became increasingly dissatisfied and contemptuous of my incompetence at the level of foreign policy. I would like to raise some questions to some of my senior leaders in particular. I would say that as a person less than 20 years old, I feel that I have lost a lot.
If you play chess, you can only see two or three moves, because there are too many variables. I thought about “If I publish this video, what will happen to me?” Especially if the video gains traction, if I have the courage to publish it. But I think what you believe can only be defined by the risk you are willing to take. So, if I’m willing to risk my current battalion commander seat, my retirement, and the stability of my family, say something I want to say. I think that asking my senior leaders to be equally honest, upright and responsible gives me some moral high ground.
I want to start, I just want to use the Marine Corps, mine… We will stick to the Marine Corps. In the aftermath of the current Afghanistan, many Marines are posting on social media. In response, the commander sent a letter to the service chief of the Marine Corps. (Read the letter here.) I want to read from it. Its date is August 18th, so it was just a week ago. Commander… Sir, you wrote: “Some of you may be struggling with a simple question,’Is it all worth it? We hope you know that your service is meaningful, powerful and important Yes. You fight for the Marines on the left and the Marines on the right. You will never let them down.”
Then you continue to say that if we are struggling, we should seek advice. You know, I get it. People kill people. I have killed people, and I seek advice, which is good. There is time and place.But the reason people are so frustrated on social media now is not because the Marines on the battlefield let someone down. The service staff always came forward and did extraordinary things. People are frustrated because their senior leadership has let them down, and none of them raised their hands to accept accountability or say “we messed up.”
If the O-5 battalion commander has the simplest live fire incident, EO complains. Prosperity. Was fired. But one of our defense ministers testified to Congress in May that the Afghan National Security Forces can withstand Taliban attacks. We have the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — the commander is one of them — who should make recommendations on military policy. We have a Marine Corps commander. All these people should provide advice.
I’m not saying that we must stay in Afghanistan forever, but I’m saying: Does anyone of you put your rank on the table and say, “Hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate the Bagram Airport, the Strategic Air Force Base, before we evacuate everyone Before.” Has anyone done this before? When you don’t want to do this, does anyone raise their hand and say, “We totally messed up?”
I now have some battalion commander friends who are posting some weird things, and they said, you know, want to know if all lives have been lost, all those people we have lost in the past 20 years.
It goes on to say that you are all part of the chain. Although each link may not be tested, the strength of the chain is only the same, and you must be a good link in its links. Something similar.
But what I want to say is that, from my standpoint, if we don’t have a senior leader to admit and raise our hands and say, “We ended up doing a bad job,” then all these people might die in vain,” he said. “Otherwise, We will only keep repeating the same mistakes. This merger of economic/corporate/political/senior military personnel has not prevented them from bargaining.
I want to say very strongly: I have been fighting for 17 years. I am willing to put aside all this and say “I demand accountability” to my senior leaders.
This is the meaning of leadership. If senior military officers are unwilling to resign to protest against their political masters, if necessary, they have lost faith in troops whose lives depend on their judgment and integrity. The rank structure has evolved into a strange distortion of what a military organization should look like. Now, the higher your level, the less your sense of responsibility. A junior officer was burned to death due to a small mistake, and the generals became a group of macaque monkeys constantly combing together.
There is no doubt that abandoning Bagram and relying on the goodwill of the Taliban to ensure the safety of Kabul is a political decision, because to do this work requires moving a division to Afghanistan to ensure the safety of the evacuation site. Unfortunately, , The politics of the Biden Cabal does not allow this. Therefore, instead of fighting for the safety of the evacuated army and the people, the army leadership has just become another tentacles of the Democratic organization, and the Marines and civilians are sacrificed to make Biden look like he has a clue.
The following is a record of General Milli’s decision to abandon Bagram to the media on August 18. Contrast this with Biden’s statement that the military thinks Bagram is useless. We left because Biden wanted the Kabul embassy to be protected without increasing the army. pic.twitter.com/B3sXxEGtba

LTC Scheller is right. If you do not put yourself on the table instead of participating in criminal activities, then you are part of the problem. The next president needs to keep this in mind when reviewing his military and trying to decide whether he can trust them to do their job.
