A series of issues within our military is accelerating the degradation of our national power - and we need to address them.

Not only are our recruitment and retention numbers suffering, but we're also witnessing a worrying lack of accountability from senior military leaders. So, what can service members do about it?

In this week's episode of 'The Matt Lohmeier Show,' Matt welcomes former Lt. Col Stu Scheller to discuss the problems we face when holding our senior military leaders accountable and the need for moral courage.

Stu Scheller served for 17 years as a Marine Corps infantry officer. After being imprisoned and court-martialed for criticizing the poorly executed withdrawal from Afghanistan, he resigned his commission at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 2021.

Stu also shares his view of the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, his background in the military, and advice for service members.
