I resigned from the Marine Corps at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel after witnessing a poorly planned and executed Afghanistan withdrawal. I was thrust into the media when I posted a video onFacebook and LinkedIn from my office as a Battalion Commander.  Wearing my uniform, I identified myself inthe video with rank and title and then proceeded to criticize the decisions ofmy senior military and political leaders. A series of escalating eventsoccurred following the release of the video between myself and the MarineCorps, resulting in my imprisonment, court-martial, and resignation.
