In a statement on Thursday, Reps. James Comer (R-Ky.) and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said Biden officials put a U.S. Marine in solitary confinement for demanding accountability from top brass for the Afghan disaster.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmakers went on to ask why our troops receive punishment for questioning the failures of Biden and his administration. Back in August, Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller posted a video on Facebook asking why the Afghanistan crisis even happened and blasting military leaders for the exit. He was placed in pre-trial confinement shortly after.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Biden Administration has placed a U.S. Marine in solitary confinement for requesting accountability for the debacle in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Why are our troops the ones facing consequences for the failures of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@POTUS<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SecDef?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SecDef<\/a>? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6RhKGCGKhp\">pic.twitter.com\/6RhKGCGKhp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
