June 23, 201016 yr To me the big picture is that if McChrystal is fired or his resignation is accepted, our men and women fighting the battles will suffer. There is no way the transition can be made without negative consequences IMO. Setbacks are NOT what we want at this time, and not letting this magazine article roll off the backs of this administration is a setback IMO. I agree, it will depend on who President replaces him with. There are very few generals, if any, with the unconventional warfare / Special Operations experience as General McChrystal.
June 23, 201016 yr I absolutely agree that this is a setback for our troops, but the fault lies in a commander that failed to show disipline himself or to require disipline from his staff. That is what has hurt his troops. For that he should be fired. I have to say that I agree with any direction that President Obama takes. In or out is the right decision. I'm just saying I would keep him.
