What is wrong with people? Specifically, what is wrong with General McChrystal. He must be crazy! Why do I say this? Well it should be obvious. He is/was a commanding general commanding troops in a war. Why in the world would you make the decision to talk to a magazine like Rolling Stone? That has to be the most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard of! Doesn’t he have something better to do with his time? The very idea of a general who is in charge of a branch of the armed forces during a war doing something like this is just insane.

Whatever happened to national security? Did General McChrystal think that there would be some benefit to talking about the war with a magazine? Did he think that it would make the troops feel better or somehow help the military win the war? I don’t think he thought about that at all or, if he did, he just didn’t care. It is one thing to voice your opinion, but when you are in the military and a commanding general, you can’t go off talking to a magazine because you are upset about your boss. You have to man up and discuss the issues you have with your boss. Now this decorated general is going to lose his job because he displayed insubordination.

I wish General McChrystal well. As you likely already know, Obama fired him. However, I want him to think. the next time you get a high ranking job and you don’t like something your boss is doing, go discuss that with your boss instead of talking behind his back. To do otherwise is just plain stupid!
