Marine Lt. Colonel Stuart Scheller in uniform and his legal team will go on trial in special court at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina on Thursday.
Although his defense attorney denounced the charge as a “long list of complaints” intended to appease the general officers, a navy colonel who had demanded the surrender of Senior executive accounts on social media failures in Afghanistan pleaded guilty to all counts. Stuart Scheller will resign under an agreement confirmed in a special court trial Thursday morning at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
Scheller, who seemed quite relaxed Thursday, seemed to understand his fate and said, “People either love me or hate me,” admitting that continuing to serve in the Marine Corps would be a “distraction.” The questions posed by the judge, Colonel Glen Hines, focused less on Scheller’s motives than on the effect his statements had on order and discipline.
In a video, he asked if the Secretary of Defense or the heads of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which includes the Commander of the Marine Corps, had thrown their rank on the table and said, “Hey, it’s a bad idea to Evacuate the airfield A strategic airbase before we all evacuate?
Scheller’s incarceration was followed by Facebook posts that, according to a statement sent by Scheller’s parents to the Marine Corps Times, broke a “gag order” that required him to remain silent.
