I'm guessing that his public statements probably did violate some provision of the UCMJ. I'm also guessing there are people here who know vastly more about it than I do.

Any predictions on the outcome of a trial for him?

No doubt he'll be offered a deal to quietly retire, or they charge him with everything they can think of, and make sure it appears before a sympathetic judge...

Command interference will be a big issue for the prosecution with a high profile case like this. He probably gets canned one way or another though.

He who shall not be named waxes eloquent on the subject of this man

We read where some folks commenting are all doom-and-gloom worried about the future prospects of Lt. Col. Scheller, USMC.

Bitch, please.

As if.

The way you "protect" someone like this, with balls the size of church bells, is hand him a bayonet, and then get out of his way.

The conga line of Alan Dershowitz-level lawyers that will take his case pro bono will take what he said once, in a YouTube vid, and turn it up to 11, straight outta Spinal Tap, and make his original video indictment of The System like the Rodney King beating: on TV, 24/7/365, and the Corps won't be able to shut up fast enough to get both their collective feet out of their mouth. They're about to create their own Billy Mitchell, and they'll never get that genie back into the bottle. It's going to haunt them for a hundred years.

Extra points for the Courtney Massengale reference. I don't know if Once an Eagle is on the Annapolis reading list the way it is (or was) at West Point, but some of the USMC brass behind this stunt probably read it. I hope it makes its way back to them.

I see a dark few months and a strong effort to break his will via semi legal theft of his house, financial and work security attacks on kids / spouse. If he makes it through all of that. He is the new Ollie North.

Wife already left him and took the kids.

And he’s out again, pending court martial:

NB: not so much as a peep in the MSM on this side of the pond, at least not that I’ve seen…

Fox had something on it....

Someone might remind him of *the first rule of holes and consider that before he makes statements.

*Stop digging.
