McChrystal stripped of command

[Trickasabrick]

According to MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37866754/ns/us_news-military/?GT1=43001

No big supprise, that arrogant SOB can't take any criticisim.

 

[CloudStrife]

I'd go crazy with the criticism now if I were him.

"I won't tolerate division", said Obama (not in the article). Well, if he weren't using the Constitution as toilet paper, something the general swore to defend, there wouldn't be division.

Wow- what a surprise.

Now you have to wonder what effects this will have on the upcoming offensive they had planned....

The Narcissist-In-Chief has once again done us proud.

The General is a PATRIOT who chose to put his Country above his military career.

He should be in the Senate. Or, in the Oval Office.

Whoooooa there. He did vote for Obama, so I wouldn't be too quick to elect him.

Obama ****ed up. What's stopping McChrystal from spilling the beans now?

I wouldn't be surprised if he was on Fox news this evening.

That's a BS response.

So if you have criticism for your boss, do you talk to you boss or tell the press about it? What would you have done to you? You don't treat people that way.

McChrystal screwed up and unfortunately is going to pay the price for that screw up. Even if he is right (I think he is), he did not handle it appropriately. Hopefully, his sacrifice will pay off for the troops by putting the correct light on Obama's inability to lead this country when it's needed.

Who says he didn't talk to Obama? Do you honestly think he would listen?

 

[rooster]

McChrystal did offer his resignation first. I wish McChrystal would have said,
you want my resignation? No, you can fire me.
I do hope he speaks even more candidly about his thoughts. I don't agree with the wars in Afghanistan or Iraqi but he was a good general and not a kiss ass. Same problem (if you want to call it that) that Patton had.

Then he wised up. Everyone makes mistakes. It takes a real man to admit he screwed up and try to rectify it.

Obama is a little different than a boss. McChrystal serves the US, not Obama, and Obama is supposed to be accountable to us.

Agreed on that. You don't run your mouth about your boss or his staff and get away with it. He did this to himself and the President is right to replace him. I think we've all had a boss we think is an idiot or does stupid things but you keep that to yourself if you want to keep your job. I really can't imagine why he would say all of these things to Rolling Stone.

Generals serve their country and report to the Commander in Chief who is very much their boss.

And we are Obama's boss... in theory at least.

Well, this is Bayou Shooter

 

[oleheat]

Regardless of how he went about doing what he did, I believe the majority of people in the military believe what he said to be the truth. The Obama Team is in way over their heads, people- from almost every angle.

Now everyone knows what happens when a community organizer from Chicago is installed as the leader of the U.S. Military, and the free world.

The "Feel-Good Story of the Century" party ended a long, long time ago.

 

[gbundersea]

Just my $.02, but I think that allegiance to country, Constitution, and defense against all enemies foreign and domestic trumps blind servitude to the POTUS. (Or in this case, TOTUS [Teleprompter Of The US]).

McChrystal's blatant honesty should help further expose 0sama for the incompetent, anti-American fool that he is.

Yep. If he didn't like it, he should have quit then run his mouth.

Then he should have quit and then opened his mouth.
