Lt. Col. Scheller is just what a Marine ought to be. The oath is first to the Constitution, then to follow orders that do not contradict the Constitution. In the Basic School at Quantico, officer candidates are taught that loyalty is a two-way street. We have a legend that Lewis Burwell Puller once came upon a private and a lieutenant on the company street; the private was saluting the lieutenant over and over and Chesty asked what was going on. The lieutenant said, "Sir, this Marine failed to render proper military courtesy, so I ordered him to salute me one hundred times." "Very good," replied Chesty, "now return every one of them." And the lieutenant learned as great a lesson in military courtesy as the private.
