if he hasn't already.
He ran his fat yap off about his Commander in Chief like he was George McClellan or some damn thing and he has to pay the same price.
Otherwise, it validates disrespect for all duly constituted authority from within the ranks of an army at war. McChrystal's barber wouldn't be allowed to mock his Commanding Officer's bald spot to a reporter from "Buzzcut" magazine nor would the General's bookblack be allowed similar liberties with "The Shoeshine Gazette".
The General stepped over the line, a Commander in Chief may put up with this shit from a winning General but from an officer presiding over an unpopular war with indifferent support from the American people, it is an intolerable outburst.
Harry Truman put up with a lot of prima donna behavior from Douglas MacArthur, til Mac's military genius ran dry and he started writing freeperish letters to the Republican Speaker of the US House.
Dunno what is gonna happen here, we will soon know...I merely make my own feelings plain, it is worth noting that George S. Patton that freeper wet dream ran his pie hole in all kinds of hair-raising ways but he never once let slip a derogatory word about FDR.
He knew better than that.
McChrystal if he resigns will do fine, the tea baggers will throw him a nice profitable pity party from sea to shining sea, he will hardly do without lavish rations.
