I'm sure that someone who's actually served could probably enlighten us further, but I'm relatively sure that officers being critical of the Commander in Chief to the press is usually frowned upon as a serious breach of military protocol.

Odd, I thought lefties loved whistle blowers??

McChrystal was just speaking truth to power. None of this is news, we all (or at least a vast majority of the country does by now) knows what an incompetent, thin skinned, empty suit this cry baby is.

So it should be no surprise that the wheels are coming off the hopenchange express. I just hope we can salvage what's left of our economy, our environment and our national security after this guy is finally thrown outta office.

When Obama was elected I know for sure that you restrained yourself. I have nothing but respect for you and that event.

Anyone who doesn't understand how serious this is in regards to the trouble McChrystal is in will be shocked to find that the current POTUS doesn't enforce the rules on the General and instead tries to work through it to benefit the events in Afghanistan. Quite a spot the General not only put himself in but the POTUS IMO.

This ain't the first time a high-ranking military officer has called out the prez. I'm thinking Patton did it, McArthur did it, and I'm sure several others.

That being said, you wait until you retire before you pop off. I agree with him, and think Brack is the worse single thing to happen to this country since Jimmy Carter, but if I was a military man, it's simply "yes sir." Period.

The way I understand these things as I've been alive for a few wars now and have seen/heard and read the fallout of many others is that having a General go Rogue on a President is bad juju. Lets say that it's OK. Then an enlisted guy that openly states that he thinks 9-11-01 wasn't a call for military action and doesn't think he should have to follow orders isn't OK if say G.W. Bush is POTUS but once someone you don't care for is in charge...it's OK?

It's bad for our Country. The General is a smart guy. I can't imagine what he thought would happen if he documented all he said. He must have had a reason. That being said...it's possible that he tried to affect the outcome of certain events he wasn't in full agreement with. If that's the case...the Military Brass will eat him alive is my guess. Then the POTUS will really have some problems on his hands.

I have to think this is way more about the General being wacko and the POTUS being a Whiney-bitch....lol

Bottomline: People who wear the uniform are not afforded the right to criticize their civilian leadership. In fact, its a crime to do so under the UCMJ.

I highly disagree.........Army regulations are in place for a reason (Politics are pretty much a no-go). I don't agree with many of them, but because we (military) all swear an oath obey all orders given from officers appointed over us, we have to follow them. There's absolutely no excuse for a four-star to criticize the White House or President/Vice President at all. It is the most unprofessional thing you could do, especially during a time of war to a freaking Rolling Stones magazine. Sorry, but even though many people like to can Obama and sometimes I disagree with orders given from above, Obama's the Commander-in-Chief and our President and the position deserves respect, even if we don't agree.

one of the rights you voluntarily give up when joining the US armed forces, is your right to free speech.

officers are not permitted to publicly criticize either policy or orders. they do what they are told and as long as they wear a uniform, if they have any complaints at all, they go through their chain of command. a breach of chain of command is punishable under the UCMJ.

whether you respect the man who holds the office or not, you WILL respect the office, itself.

This is America. The greatest Country on Earth and if you think the POTUS is a dip**** you have every right to voice your opinion as a Private Citizen. If you are in charge of defending this Country and he's your Boss...you better follow orders. Even though Obama might step on some toes of the Military Brass...I believe that he (just as Clinton learned) understands that our Military and the running of it is a very serious matter. It's not to be trifled with unless your Daddy was a War Hero and can get you out of trouble when you don't show for duty.

I disagree ST. I honestly do. BHO is clueless about military matters and doesn't have any civilian executive experience with which to provide even scant insight.

None of this is really planned in this entire thing. There was a plan in Iraq when the Surge started.

Here's what you need to understand about Afghanistan. It's a medieval society, divided into various principalities run by war lords. Kinda like Scotland in the 14th century. Except Scots called their principalitie clans, which were run by clan chieftains. The analogy continues to hold in that the Afghan war lords, like the Scottish clan chiefs, have lieutenants related to them by blood and the line of sucession is hereditary. e.g. Jabba I dies, his favorite son Jabba II takes over. Jabba is aided in running his territory by his brothers, his sons and his nephews.

In short, Afghanistan, like Scotland before the English moved in and took control, has never had a true central government in the conventional sense. President Karzai, the titular leader, is basically the mayor of Kabul with no real ability to influence or control anything that happens in the rest of the country.

Therefoe, IMHO, based on actually having been there and seen the things I'm ranting about with my own Okie eyes, we have two course of action open to us: 1) occupy it and administer the place through an American viceroy, or 2) pay-off the war lords to do what we want. I think option no. 2 makes the most sense.

The other thing we could do, albiet politically untenable, is leave, let the Taliban and Al-Q declare victory, and after they have all moved back into Afghanistan from Syria, Jordan, Jerusalem, Pakistan, London, Paris and Dearborn, Michigan -- incinerate the place with ICBM's. :D

What could he do better? Got anything specific in mind? Other than cater to BP's every need?

Well that might be an idea since they need help in solving the problem.

I'm no fan of BHO as you all know, but if the Rolling Stone writer got it even half right, the command climate General McChrystal allowed to permeate in theater, and the fact his personal staff were comfortable articulating their disdain for the administration TO A FLIPPIN' REPORTER means he needs to go.

Bottomline: People who wear the uniform are not afforded the right to criticize their civilian leadership. In fact, its a crime to do so under the UCMJ.

Yep, that's the way it has to work. Like it or not BHO is the commander in chief. Truman recalled McArthur who chose to shoot off his mouth with the press. Generals serve at the pleasure of the President.

The other thing we could do, albiet politically untenable, is leave, let the Taliban and Al-Q declare victory, and after they have all moved back into Afghanistan from Syria, Jordan, Jerusalem, Pakistan, London, Paris and Dearborn, Michigan -- incinerate the place with ICBM's. :D

(But I'd include Pakistan and Iran while we were at it. We could say we were reducing the number of nuclear warheads. More peaceful world and all. Or maybe we just say "oops" and a :O face)

Odd, I thought righties thought criticizing the president in wartime was treason?

You should be clamoring for the death penalty or prison for McChrystal right now. You know, if you were ever consistent about anything except for blind curtain-chewing hatred of anything that's not Republican.


My how times have changed. Even the dems support the war in Afganistan/Iraq now. :rolleyes:

I don't believe you'll find a single post over nine years where I've been critical of fighting a war in Afghanistan. If you find one, feel free to let me know. So far as I remember, I've been pretty consistent over the last almost-decade is saying our military resources should be concentrated there.

Regardless, that has nothing to do with whether McChrystal broke military protocol. You and Tuba are only OK with it because the President happens to have a D after his name.

No, what's going to get him re-elected is his summer 2012 executive order granting amnesty and citizenship to illegal messicans who aren't in jail for crimes committed in the US. You just wait and see.

Homey, wouldn't he run into a separation of powers issue there? Amnesty, sure, but isn't the power to define who's a citizen vested in Congress as an Article I §8 power? I thought I remembered that when Reagan did the same thing he required an Act of Congress.

Here's a vid to prove the irony of Obama hiring Petraeus

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9wtAqXq7Sg

All he did was insult him and the Iraq war in his face.

If Petraeus somehow turns things around in Afghanistan and gets it going to right direction then this could actually help his run for President in '12 not hurt it.

I just read three pages of this over 6 shots of Jack Daniels washed down with Coke and no one has made the point that McCrystal wouldn't be dumb enough to say these horrible things about our communist-in-chief to a Rolling Stone reporter and not be oblvious to the fact that the reporter will leak it out.

The question is why?

My theory: McCyrstal didn't want to go down in history as the general who lost the war. Easier to go out...MacArthur style.

Oh, btw - Obama is a thin skinned whiny little bitch.

No, the rule of the millitary for officer's and enlisted is that you do not speak ill of the President until you are out of uniform. Meaning he could have written a nice book when he retired but while he was under command of the commander-in-chief he was expected to be a good soldier and STFU! He may have been able to have conversations with the President on how he felt but not in public. Also, this was the second time he had done this! He went too far and was replaced. Generals serve at the pleasure of the President do not forget!

Then K/C would be wrong as well because the commander-in-chief is just that he is HMIC! The General knew what he was doing and at his pay grade didn't give a crap. You see being president you gotta have a big ego and being a general you probably have an even bigger ego because you get your first star and people really kiss your *** then you get your second star whoa nelly and by the third star well your feeling a lot like the prez who gets hail to the chief played in every room he walks into and event etc....
