            IN SUPPORT OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL STUART SCHELLER

  (Mr. CAWTHORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CAWTHORN. Mr. Speaker, Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Scheller is an 
American patriot who dared to speak the truth.
  He knew that a 4-minute and 45-second video could bring his storied 
17-year career in the United States Marine Corps to a screeching halt, 
but he did not care.
  He laid it all down and spoke truth to power.
  He said what every other servicemember knew in their heart was true: 
The incompetence of the Biden White House cost American lives.
  Their sin was unpardonable and deadly. Lieutenant Colonel Scheller 
called them out, but they couldn't handle the criticism.
  He was ordered to undergo mental health screening because he stood up 
to incompetence. Today, right now, this very second, he sits behind 
bars in my home State of North Carolina, shackled in a military brig, 
while those who orchestrated Biden's incompetent Afghanistan withdrawal 
walk free.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a stain on our Nation's conscience. Lieutenant 
Colonel Stuart Scheller must be released.
