The vets they have on [Fox News] as analysts are excellent. They tell it like it is and hold nothing back.

Agreed.

She gets to brag about her desire to kill Americans when martial law is declared and faces no backlash.

*** Erik Prince said today he would ensure the Lt Col is well taken care of because his courage deserves no less.

Those that walk away from Earthly things and trust their lives and fortunes to God have nothing to worry about. ***

Is that the same Erik Prince charging $6500 a seat on his Outbound Afghanistan flights? Because no war whore Billionaire misses an opportunity to create a business opportunity out of misery, and fear of death.

He has bad judgment.

One man's bad judgement is another man's patriotism.

What if the Founding Fathers had not had the 'bad judgment' to rebel against England?

He gets a ton of free publicity out of this, and if he’s run out of the military he doesn’t get a COVID vaccine forced on him. Sounds like he knew exactly what he was doing.

He has great judgement. He’s taught his children a most important lesson. Sometimes doing the right thing is not easy. Good on him

It is an indictment of our general-grade (as opposed to field-grade or company-grade) officer corp that it is a 17 year LTC having to say this publicly. If he gets drummed out, and those who created this Charlie Foxtrot do not, our military is totally done.

But hey! At least all those general-grade folks are all woke and lgbt-friendly!

Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller ought to run for congress.
Instead of posers he might be an honest person.

The left has sugar daddies like George Soros who deal out dollars as rewards or withhold them as punishment and thus the left keeps its potential renegades on the reservation.

If you are a whistleblower who supports the left and attacks the right, your afterlife will be financed. Not so for honest Marines on the right.

I assume that Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller is not cynically speaking out to launch himself into a new political career and that his motivation is entirely genuine. I can only note that a subordinate officer in the army of Adolf Hitler or of the Kaiser in The Great War actually enjoyed more freedom to voice opinion and countermand orders given the proper circumstances on the ground than do our officers in the face of Galactic stupidity that we have seen in Afghanistan.

You’re taking unfounded piss shots at E Prince who has acted heroically under fire to rescue those facing certain death.

WH Jan Pukesi, Mediate, and all the odorous Marxist Propaganda Media are blowing gas out their anus about E Prince and the $6500 and you are carrying their pisswater for them without explaining the facts.

Prince addressed the $6500. It was the cost of the private charter passenger jet without insurance. No passenger plane can get insurance into and out of Kabul. E Prince is NOT profiteering from it although the Marxist press are lying that he’s a war profiteer and you are falling in behind their BS.

Prince has a lot of $$$’d connections but the fastest deal he could put together was to offer to provide pilots risking their lives flying a private charter costing $6500 a head.

At an estimate of 10,000 evacuees, the private charter wants upwards of $65,000,000. Prince has access to money but not that amount on emergency short notice.

Your smelly leftust buddies throwing crap at Prince could have easily pleaded with their fellow demented WH connections to spend the $65 million for the charter but no, they have to heckle those trying to put together a rescue while they don’t lift a finger to stop the death sentence to the 10,000 souls their side abandoned in Afghanistan.

“his sons have one heck of a father.”

Equally so, his parents raised an outstanding son. And undoubtedly, some long retired TBS personnel are also proud.

Semper Fi
