A military judge will give Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller little punishment Thursday after the Marine pleaded guilty to charges stemming from his criticism of Biden administration military leaders during the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, according a Newsmax source.
The source said the judge was reviewing Scheller's plea agreement and will rule that the maximun sentence will be a letter of reprimand, though the judge cannot actually issue the order.
"BREAKING: Lt. Col. #SCHELLER found guilty in court martial. (No surprise - that was his plea) He will receive a discharge of AT LEAST 'General Under Honorable Conditions,' source told me. No jail time," Washington Times reporter Mike Glenn tweeted.
Scheller called for military leaders to be held accountable after 13 U.S. service members were killed in an ISIS-K suicide bombing during the evacuation phase at Kabul's airport.
In entering his plea of guilty to all charges and specifications, Scheller waived his right to a trial by jury and chose trial by military judge alone, Task & Purpose reported. The judge will determine if he will accept the plea.
