Generals should not offer opinions. They're job is simply to do as
they're told by someone with all the combat experience of a slug.


Reading challenged, again? That's not what that article said. A quote
from Gates, "provide our best advice to the president candidly but
privately." For a General to *publicly* campaign for his ideas limits
his commanders options, and undermines his commanders authority.
McChrystal should keep in mind, he serves at the President's pleasure.
If he doesn't agree with Obama's policies, he should quit.


Gosh, when Gen. Shinseki did basically the same thing, he was hailed
as a hero by you liberals.

My goodness. Such standards.

McChrystal did, in fact, agree with 'Bama's policies. 'Bama said this
was a war of necessity for the United States. Based on that 'policy'
McChrystal supported his President by emphasizing the requirement for
more troops.

But, you liberals are not fond of the idea. Giving up seems to be more
your style.

Perhaps you should just call names.
