McChrystal is guilty of gross insubordination and got exactly what he deserves--the boot. No Commander could tolerate such behavior. I was pleased to see President Obama taking care of business in such a masterful way.
Yea, Solo, lets lose the war-lose our freedom,
lose our way of life as we know it, become
Muslim-just like Obummer. Oil is in Pensicola,
we do not need help from Sweden or anyone else,
let it ruin our beaches, let this country become
a slum,just like the third world he came from.
Your statement isn't any better than McChrystal. isa you are also guilty of gross insubordination and should get exactly what you deserve--the boot.
This is to all the people who talk so badly of our President and make fun of him.
Who was so stupid to actually come out with a statement or pole like that?
McChrystal for President! I'd rather have a man that tells the truth about someone and their character vs. having one that is destroying this great country from the inside out. I didn't vote for Obama nor do I claim him as my President. McChrystal gave a no BS assessment on the SIT-REP!
You didn't ask God to be born, so you won't claim him as your Lord and Savior. You are not on the USA team or the Christian team either. Then you shouldn't live in the USA or go to any religious functions. Shame on you, a veteran, and not proud to be an American. Like it or not Mr Obama is YOUR President.
It is possible to have respect to the office without having any respect for the person occupying the office. You see, the office itself demands respect. The person must earn the respect. Respect is not automatic.
I'm a retired veteran and I have no respect for Obama the person. I bet the vast majority of the military has no respect for Obama the person. However, we all have respect to the office of president. There is a big difference. It is one big reason we go where we're told to go and fight whom we're told to fight until we are able to come home.
That is a reason McChrystal and people like him can do a job even when they know the person in office is a wimp. Respect for the office.
Perhaps not if he was calling attention to a wimp that didn't support the military. And I'm not saying he did right. But I bet he knew what he was doing.
Go ask Pat Tilman's family about respect. You don't just make up a pack of lies about someone's son's death for political purposes and get respect for it.
We are all in this boat together and we will go down together if that is what our future holds. Some people would rather be proven right than wrong, despite the cost... but I am not praying that Obama fails as President.
McChrystal probably has "fired" people under him for insubordination and wouldn't dare tolerate a Corp, Sgt, LT, Capt or Col saying those same type things about him or his staff.
Its funny that no one answered the original question. "whom would you prefer to be in charge if you had a son or daughter in the line of fire in the sandbox?"
Are they too busy voicing their political opinions to answer a simple question? Too busy trying to prove their points and taking sides. The sad part is....this is what our government does everyday. Fight and bicker, casting blame and never really getting anything done.
So I'll answer your question there Walt....My daughter will be going into the military after Graduation and I would much rather McChrystal be in charge.
