Stuart Scheller - Always Faithful

USMC commander Stuart Scheller rose to prominence in the fall of 2021. The botched withdrawal of US forces based upon the decisions of US President Biden and his advisors delivered a national disgrace for the nation.

On Aug 26, Scheller sat at his desk, as a commander, in uniform and posted a video challenging the system and leadership that failed all Americans over the past 20 years. The system hates to have hit's failure brought to the fore.

He demanded honesty, integrity and accountability from his leaders. He's asked, as a marine, as a warrior, where are the people above him raising their hands to take accountability and accept the repercussions of their failure.

The third line of Scheller's resignation, posted on 9/11, says it all.

3. My reason for submitting a letter of resignation: A lack of trust and confidence in your ability to lead. - This is addressed to the Secretary of the Navy.

Many of you have seen BIDS episodes examining why we failed to perform in Iraq and Afghanistan. Last week, we hosted Chris Schafer's chat with Pete A Turner (https://youtu.be/oyiOTNz-5-oa) describing failure from a variety of perspectives.

We'll host Matt Hoh and discuss his resignation while deployed to Zabul province in Afghanistan in 2009 on Thursday 27JAN22. Matt's disgust with the failure and the lack of accountability is on par with what we've seen repeatedly on BIDS.

Stu put everything on the line. He sacrificed his career, his family's stability and his marriage for the truth--and now he'll talk about it on the Break It Down Show.

Stuart is world-class Marine...he swore to be Sempre Fidelis and the Ductus Exemplo...here he is, being the standard.
