With all the bad news coming out of Afghanistan, I thought I’d look for the silver lining in the latest storm cloud, the firing of General Stanley McChrystal for his and his staff’s contemptuous comments about their civilian bosses. At least one group of soldiers is leaving America’s longest war ahead of schedule.

Now it is really this presidents problem. From now on His name is on every move good or bad. Interesting times ahead.
We have a Community Orginizer who has never worn as much as a Boy Scout uniform, firing an Army General and dictating how to run a war. May God help us!!
The most important point missed is the law of the land, the Constitution. The president is the Commander in Chief. There is a hierarchy. General Douglas MacArthur blew it by going out of line and was fired and rightly so by President Harry Truman. McChrystal ditto. Do you think ol’ Stanley expects his troops to toe his line? Damned straight. And so must he to his boss, the President. Never mind your political opinions and editorial comments, this is simple and straight forward. ol’ Stanley strayed way over the line last year in London and just recently here. The military has a code and demands the straight and narrow. Buh-Bye Stanley and do not let the down whack your hind quarters on the way out of your bunk quarters. Now let us hope General Betrayus realizes there is no semblance between Uraq & Afghanistan. Good luck.
Donald, good commentary and I agree with you 100%.
Yes what is right is right, super Donald 100% true.
