'Loss of confidence' in US leaders: Marine punished for Afghan withdrawal criticism RESIGNS effective 9/11 and calls for 'revolution'

A U.S. Navy exempted from duty over a viral video blowing up the poorly managed exit from Afghanistan has resigned from the service, saying he has lost all confidence in U.S. leaders while demanding responsibility for their failures.

The controversial soldier, Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller, took to his Facebook account on Tuesday to announce his plans to leave the Marine Corps and shared a photo of his resignation letter requesting a 9/11 resignation date. He entered the mail with a message addressed to “The American leadership” which ends with what borders on a call to “revolution."

“We humans submit our resignation with a requested date of September 11, 2021. Reason: Loss of trust and confidence," Scheller wrote and repeated the wording of his letter.

We humans seek change. We humans seek leadership. We humans seek responsibility. We humans WANT to take it. Every generation needs a revolution.

The Navy only received recognition last Thursday after sending one Facebook video shredding U.S. military and political leaders for their handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying no one had taken responsibility for a series of mistakes. “I have been fighting for 17 years. I am willing to throw it all away to say to my leaders: I demand responsibility, ” he said in the clip, which quickly went viral across several social media platforms.

Less than 24 hours after the video went live, however, Scheller announced on another Facebook post that he had been exempted from service “Based on lack of trust and confidence” from his superiors. Although he did not criticize their decision, Scheller remained firm in calling for responsibility, calling on other Marines to “become better” and join him: “They only have the power because we allow it. What if we all demanded accountability? ”

Before formally announcing his resignation, Scheller caused further controversy with another video - filmed, he says, from “An Abandoned School Bus in Eastern North Carolina” justified “Your move."

“You have no idea what I’m capable of," he says in the video, where he also discusses his exposure to toxic wood pits during his deployment in Ramadi, Iraq. He later added and approached other service members: “Follow me and we’ll bring down the whole f ** king system."
