With amazing alacrity, the judge overseeing Lieutenant Colonel Scheller\u2019s Court Martial has passed sentence. Charged with six misdemeanor counts, he pled guilty to all.<\/p>\n
In a special court-martial, the maximum punishments include a forfeiture of two-thirds basic pay per month for one year, up to one year of confinement, and\/or a bad-conduct discharge. An officer found guilty cannot be dismissed from the armed forces or confined.<\/p>\n

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. spent 9 days in the brig during pre-trial confinement<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Brooke Singman By Brooke Singman , Stephen Goin<\/strong><\/p>\n The U.S. Marine who posted videos on social media criticizing military leadership and the Biden administration\u2019s withdrawal of military assets from Afghanistan was issued a letter of reprimand and a forfeiture of $5,000 worth of pay for one month, after pleading guilty to all charges during his court-martial hearing this week.<\/p>\n Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. pled guilty to all six misdemeanor-level charges Thursday, including willfully disobeying a superior commissioned officer, dereliction in the performance of duties and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.<\/p>\n The judge, on Friday, said he would have given a two-month forfeiture of pay, had it not been for the nine days Scheller spent in pre-trial confinement. Scheller was freed from the brig last week where he was being held for violating an agreement to stop posting criticism on social media.<\/p>\n The judge said he does not condone Scheller\u2019s offenses, but noted his 17 year USMC career, saying that prior to his social media incident, he was an officer with an outstanding record \u2013 a record, he said, he weighed heavily.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Many expected a much harsher outcome. Never the less, his career is finished, as any possibility of promotion or command is a fantasy. He may be stashed somewhere to finish out his 20, but I doubt he\u2019ll stay.<\/p>\n Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n Thanks, Gun Bunny<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
