Stuart Scheller's "Motivational Poster" Should Adorn Air Force Hallways

The former USMC lieutenant colonel (who chose the defense of his nation over his own career ambition), combat commander, and current DoD official has absolutely nailed the most pressing issue of our military officer corps.  While the rank and file talk about "careerism" they don't actually get to the real issue with our failing officer corps.  Scheller cuts right down to it with his post and I've seen it play out in real life with grave consequences.

This post should adorn the halls of military buildings so that coward officers, who comprise the vast majority in our military branches, are less able to justify their failings to their subordinates and peers with the same ole "pick your battles" tripe.

I didn’t Speak Up because I was too young and inexperienced

I didn’t Speak Up because I have a family and a mortgage

I didn’t Speak Up because I worked too hard to get to this position

Face it, you didn’t Speak Up because you’re a f’n coward

 Very well said. 

When the American Military Machine Turns Against America

 

The lack of concern for the Constitution and the principles of liberty keeps certain units freshly stocked with operators oblivious to their treason against the American people.
