Some history we might think about...
Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller was fired from his job as commander of a training battalion a day after he posteda short video to Facebook where he demanded accountability from senior military leaders on the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. A few years ago Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was protected and celebrated for doing the a similar thing.
Vindman compromised classified information in his scheme that pandered to the worst natures of partisan politicians that ultimately resulted in a failed Impeachment of a sitting President.
Vindman was fired from his position at the White House National Security Staff and was promoted to Colonel...which he declined and instead retired as a LtCol.
Assessing the damage caused by Scheller's conduct as compared to Vindman's in order to determine a path forward would be a daunting task if all of the collateral damage was included.
Scheller begins to look like a Choir Boy in Robes compared to Vindman misconduct.
