A Marine lieutenant colonel is pleading guilty at a military court-martial after he posted a series of videos on social media criticizing the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. NBC News’ Courtney Kube says his attorneys argue he was simply calling for accountability.

#Afghanistan #Withdrawal #USMC
Your suppose to fight for the person that’s fighting next to you. You fight for what you believe in even when a commanding officer is wrong.
These MFs should be stripped of their duties and honor
The only ,is take is I pulled out to soon in his 👄 mouth
17 years vs 30 years of senior leadership and experience. I think this marine was stupid for being stupid
MSN is against him
I’m a Marine Desert Storm vet. I think this man is an outstanding officer. I would proudly serve under his leadership. These D-bags that want to fry him should be under investigation. It’s obvious that his comments would get him in hot water, he is saying what needs to be said….Semper Fidelis!
Semper Fi- f**k the other guy hasn’t changed at all.
LOCK HIM UP!!!
Comply.. or leftist communists will force you through attrition.
He did that….more balls than most.
His accountability is the biggest question overall! He is in a leadership position and has a chain of command to follow, but he bypassed that chain of his own ego! Either you follow your oath or get out!
wtf……this dud and the gop talk for a lote of lost folks in the states….well…… good luck with that !!!!!!
Hadn't he ever heard of MacArthur?
The guy was a US soldier, of course he needs to be in jail.
Right so he gets pinned with these charges but the man that actually committed treason walks
Poor guy lost his military bearing.
Uniform code of conduct
YOU DO NOT GET TO DISOBEY ORDERS!!!
You never ever break the chain of command or make your service political.
LOL contards.
I am glad he stood up to his convictions and what he knew was right. It's funny that republican members would stand up since they obstruct accountability.
No one in power will be held accountable.
Meanwhile the guy who's caused murder of our soldiers and droned the wrong people walks around freely while selling horse $#*+. If a civil war breaks out, pretty sure those who get targeted in the capital deserve whatever comes to them.
Throw the Trumpsters into dumpsters. Afghanistan is not part of the USA. What a traitor. It's unconstitutional to be involved in the internal affairs of foreign countries.
Never should have invaded Iraq or stayed in Afghanistan…..
This fool is not a soldier, not a officer, but instead a politician. Watch as the sands of time pass.
Shameful
Republicans tryna turn this guy into a hero
Who says crime doesn’t pay
You must understand the law and expectations in the military are very different as a civilian. Even thou what he did was right, he new what would happen if he criticized leadership. Everyone in the army knows you don't do that, they will destroy you for questioning them. The army is blind obedience. It's a dictatorship not a democracy in the army. You sign away alot of your rights when you join the army. The military is a authoritarian place. And it needs to be. But this man did the right thing. He was right, but if i called out leadership each time they did something stupid I would be in prison. There's a term used alot in the army "clueless leaders" for a reason. Bad leadership is common in the military. Alot of buddy buddy permotions instead of merit based permotions going on in the army now days. Always gets you bad leaders and real good leaders are looked over in favor of leaderships friends. The good guys tend to leave seeing this and the bad guys stay amd become leaders. It's a really bad cycle that leads to rampant bad leadership. I know I was in the army for 8 years and seeing I would never be permoted I got out. Same with most of the men I served with. The only way to be permoted in the military now days isn't threw hard work and metals, now it's who you know amd who's your friend that gets you permoted. Merit is almost irrelevant it seems
Another trumpanzee off it's chain. Lolol. Go for it dude. I'm sure Trump will stand by you the same way he has the January 6th rioters.
20 years from now these people are going to be saying WTF was I thinking just like i do when I recall voting for Lyndon LaRouche back in 1976. 😆
Can’t point out incompetence of leadership in liberalism. The Chinese won’t allow it, the North Koreans, nor the Biden administration.
There goes his military pension.
