'I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders, ‘I demand accountability,'' Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller said in a video message.
"I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders, ‘I demand accountability,'" Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller said in a video message.
“Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, ‘Hey, it's a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone’?” Scheller, in uniform, said in the video. “Did anyone do that? And when you didn't think to do that, did anyone raise their hand and say, ‘We completely messed this up’?”
"Without that, the ... higher military ranks are not holding up their end of the bargain,” he said. “I have been fighting for 17 years. I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders, ‘I demand accountability.’"
