but stuart scheller for telling the truth? well, here's what happened to him.itary brass forest him to undergo a psychological evaluation because only a crazy person would ask for accountability after the disaster in afghanistan. and then when he wouldn't admit he was crazy, they threw him in prison, in jail, where he sits tonight. his father just released this statement explain his son is now behind bars with violent criminals. how long is he there? he's there indefinitely. this is happening to might or might tonight america. "all our son did was ask the question that everyone was asking themselves that they were too scared to speak out loud, it was asking for account ability. i think even asked for a apology that we made mistakes but they couldn't do that, which was mind-blowing, they had a gag order on him and ask him to speak. he did speak and they incarcerated him very they don't know what to do with them." one of the worst stories of our time, and there are a lot of bad stories right now. tony is one of the lawyers representing stuart scheller and he join

on saturday scheller posted on his facebook that his superiors had ordered him to stop posting on social media. he ended the post with i am ready for jail, then he was tossed into the brig. if anyone is truly guilty of breaking the chain of command or disparaging the military and his general mark millie. before and after the election he hopscotch over the commander-in-chief to coordinate with chinese counterparts and when nancy said donald trump is crazy millie said he agreed. but millie remains typically dismissive and defiant. >> at no time was i attempting to change or influence the process, usurp authority or insert myself in the chain of command, but i'm expected, i am required to give my advice and ensure the president is fully informed on military matters. >> it deserves to be held accountable here, a marine corps officer with a stellar career who risked his pension and benefits to tell the truth about our military leadership or general milley, the incompetent leaders failure to speak out left 13 americans dead. they squawk about an insurrection on january 6th, but what do you cal
