After he released the video, Scheller put out an announcement that he had been relieved from duty based on a lack of trust and confidence.
“My chain of command is doing exactly what I would do…if I were in their shoes. I appreciate the opportunities AITB command provided. To all the news agencies asking for interviews…I will not be making any statements other than what’s on my social platforms until I exit the Marine Corps,” explained Scheller. However, Scheller appears to be optimistic about his future aspirations, despite being relieved of duty.
“America has many issues…but it’s my home…It’s where my three sons will become men. America is still the light shining in a fog of chaos. When my Marine Corps career comes to an end, I look forward to a new beginning. My life’s purpose is to make America the most lethal and effective foreign diplomacy instrument. while my days of hand to hand violence may be ending…I see a new light on the horizon. Semper,” wrote Scheller.
