The Morning RantBIRDS OF A FEATHER So I'm trying to get caught up on the brouhaha over statements regarding the recent Afghanistan debacle made by one Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller that got him tossed in the brig. We all thought that was unjust, and somebody organized some fund-raising that pulled in over $2 million dollars. Then a Breitbart article claimed that, prior to his arrest, Scheller ...issued a lengthy post on Facebook in which he criticized various political and military figures, including former President Trump and Gen. Michael Flynn... I'm kind of disappointed that he's not a fan of Trump, but so what, that doesn't change the fact that jailing him is a chickensh*t move. It's just the left once again doing whatever it can to stifle dissent. But, that aside, it looks like Scheller doesn't appear to like anybody. Read the original Facebook post that got him in trouble. It's all over the map. He has many opinions about many things, and none of them favorable. The guy who he's reminding me of is Frank Serpico, the police whistleblower who exposed the NYPD culture of corruption back in the late 60s and early 70s and got shot in the face for his efforts. It took guts for him be the lone guy standing up for what's right, but the more I read about him, the more I thought he's just one of those guys who wants to be different from everybody else. I guess "contrarian" would be a close enough word to describe guys like that. "Loose cannon" is another. It's like they draw a circle around everybody else and then make sure that they themselves are standing outside the circle. Because it's somehow in their nature that they just want to be different. In my opinion, Serpico's incorruptibility stems from his contrariness, and not the other way round. Frank Serpico never really fit in to the NYPD culture. But I think that's because he really doesn't fit in anywhere. Just after 9/11, I happen to stumble on the blog he was writing at the time. I have long since lost the link. He sounded like a real nutcase. Although, to be fair, being a resident of New York City, he might have been traumatized by the attack on the World Trade Center. But You have to ask Serpico/Scheller, "ok, so you don't like the guys we have now, any of our leaders, fine, so who do you like? What would you prefer?" and they have a hard time answering that question. Although Serpico did support far left loon Ramsey Clark's candidacy for the NY Senate seat back in 1974. Although I'd like to note that by the standards of the Democratic Party of today, Clark would be a moderate. Anyway, I think Scheller comes from the same mold. Such men speak in terms of lofty ideals, and nothing ever seems to be good enough for them. I suppose that can be a good trait to have, but leaving it unchecked makes for a difficult life, tailor-made for frustration, depression, and perhaps even despair. I suspect that if one of our crack national journalists (stop laughing) interviewed the other guys in Scheller's unit, who know him and work with him day to day, it would be apparent how much of an oddball he is. So who cares what Scheller's politics are? It doesn't matter. He just wants to run his own course. I wish him Godspeed on whatever journey he's on.
