LTC Scheller is essentially a prisoner of war at this point. Not by letter of the law, but in essence.

Scheller is the first POW in the unfolding civil war. A Marine officer taken by Marines.

Notice the narrator misses the point of self-sacrifice. It’s all about career.

The longer Scheller fights, the more support he gathers. The harder the war-losers punish Marine Scheller, the stronger this leader becomes. This true Marine can flip the script and suddenly outrank this tormentors through elected office, and/or power of the pen.

It’s only over if he quits. If Scheller goes Honey Badger, they are in for torn flesh.

I support this True Marine, Lieutenant Colonel Scheller. This Officer put his country first.

How would you like to be next President? As President, you could put this American into a position to clean house. Task Force You’re Fired. Provide Secretary Scheller with a staff, and give Secretary Scheller thirty days to make first recommendations, with new recommendations every thirty days.

You got one year to clean our ranks. Your assigned aircraft and crews are 24/7 for you to walk the line. I want at least a thousand heads O-6 and above. But if you fire one person from malice, your head is next. GO.
