My condolences to our fallen Marines. This was NOT handled correctly from the start and yes, all the leaders at the top are accountable.
This needs to include old sleepy Joe, commander and chief. He is ultimately responsible and accountable-
A quote from Scheller in his statement is below- he is 100% Correct. It's unfortunate he was relieved from his duties. Looks like the only ones left are the leaders to continue making the mistakes and potentially more lives will be lost as we move forward. Sad-
"I get it. People have killed people. I've killed people, and I see counseling, and that's fine. There's a time and place for that," Berger said in response to the letter. "The reason people are so upset on social media right now is not because the Marine on the battlefield let someone down. That service member has always rose to the occasion and done extraordinary things. People are upset because their senior leaders let them down, and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability and saying, 'We messed this up.'"
Scheller concluded by saying that service members did potentially "die if vain if we don't have senior leaders who own up and raise their hand and say, ‘We did not do this well in the end.’"
"Without that, we just keep repeating the same mistakes," he said. "…I want to say this very strongly. I have been fighting for 17 years. I am willing to throw it all away to say to my senior leaders: I demand accountability."
