Jailed Marine Who Demanded Accountability Offered To Resign And Was Rejected

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller offered to resign his commission under honorable conditions, according to Marine Corps documents exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The offer was rejected by Maj. Gen. Julian Alford, the commander of the Marine Corps Training Command.

Scheller posted a video in August demanding accountability from senior military officials over the Afghanistan withdrawal, saying he was willing to “throw” away his years of military service over it.

Shortly after the video was posted, Scheller posted on social media that he had been “relieved for cause.” He posted Saturday that he was “ordered to refrain from posting” and was later thrown in the brig, where he remains awaiting trial.
