But he was such a danger to democracy that solitary confinement was requiredRaceBannon said:https://newsmax.com/newsfront/marine-scheller-plea-guilty/2021/10/14/id/1040500/
A military judge will give Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller little punishment Thursday after the Marine pleaded guilty to charges stemming from his criticism of Biden administration military leaders during the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, according a Newsmax source.
The source said the judge was reviewing Scheller's plea agreement and will rule that the maximun sentence will be a letter of reprimand, though the judge cannot actually issue the order.
"BREAKING: Lt. Col. #SCHELLER found guilty in court martial. (No surprise - that was his plea) He will receive a discharge of AT LEAST 'General Under Honorable Conditions,' source told me. No jail time," Washington Times reporter Mike Glenn tweeted.
Scheller called for military leaders to be held accountable after 13 U.S. service members were killed in an ISIS-K suicide bombing during the evacuation phase at Kabul's airport.
In entering his plea of guilty to all charges and specifications, Scheller waived his right to a trial by jury and chose trial by military judge alone, Task & Purpose reported. The judge will determine if he will accept the plea. -

The official birthday of the United States Marine Corps is on 10 November 1775. That was the day when the Second Continental Congress established the Continental Marines with the following decree:[1]
That two battalions of Marines be raised consisting of one Colonel, two lieutenant-colonels, two majors and other officers, as usual in other regiments; that they consist of an equal number of privates as with other battalions, that particular care be taken that no persons be appointed to offices, or enlisted into said battalions, but such as are good seamen, or so acquainted with maritime affairs as to be able to serve for and during the present war with Great Britain and the Colonies; unless dismissed by Congress; that they be distinguished by the names of the First and Second Battalions of Marines.
Tun Tavern, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is regarded as the birthplace of the Corps as the location of the first Marines to enlist under Commandant Samuel Nicholas,[2][3][4] though it is disputed if a recruiting drive may have occurred earlier at Nicholas's family tavern, the Conestoga Waggon [sic].[5] When the Revolutionary War ended in 1783, the Continental Navy was disestablished, and with it, the Continental Marines. The Corps was re-established on 11 July 1798, when the act for establishing and organizing a Marine Corps was signed by President John Adams.[6]
edit to say this should be the Tun Tavern -

Supposedly there's a replica on a Marine base somewhere but I'm too lazy to look up which one.
