The Court Martial Of Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Richard Schaller: Of Lieutenant Colonel...

This story is the obstruction of justice and confl ict of interest trial of Richard
Schaller in the US District Court in Pensacola FL in July 2009. The Schaller
trial climaxes the longest white-collar criminal investigation in Air Force history. Its
impact on the war on terror was devastating. Schaller advocated the special operations
capabilities of the Air Force's Battlefi eld Airmen, war fi ghters who bring all elements
of airpower to the war on terror. Air Force leaders want no part of special operations,
Battlefi eld Airmen, or the war on terror. Schaller walked the halls of Congress
effectively, rallied innovative small businesses, and won the support of leaders at the
Air Force Research Laboratory and the Air Force Special Operations Command to
develop imaginative capabilities for the Air Force's Battlefi eld Airmen. But Air Force
offi cials were threatened by Schaller's campaign for special operations capabilities,
ambushed Schaller, and drove him out of business and into oblivion. This story is
taken from the court record of the Schaller trial
and is a chilling revelation of the angry tactics
the Air Force, prosecutor, and judge used against
Schaller. Not since the trial of Brigadier General
William "Billy" Mitchell in 1925 has America
witnessed such a signifi cant courtroom test of our
national security actions. This story is mandatory
reading for all who believe in our Constitution
and the continuing fi ght against powerful
government offi cials to whom the Constitution
is a crumbling relic and obstacle. The work of
freedom never ends. Witness history.
