Stanley McChrystal at risk of losing his job

He is in it deep for sure. But the general isn't the only one who openly disrespects the president and the clowns in the administration. Many think the president is weak, but that isn't news.

I understand that the president and his administration questioned the military and did not give them a blank check like the previous administration. I am sure the generals did not like this but I don't think it means that the president is weak.

There are a host of other reasons why growing numbers of people think the president is weak. The general held him in low esteem and likey thought he was weak as a leader, not necessarily because of one single decision or non decision but more for a body of work or non work.

I think you are missing my point, this President has questioned the military, it might not make the military happy but it sure does not mean the President is week!

He fired the general, how is that a sign of weakness?

I was missing your point - firing the president is NOT a sign of weakness. I was commenting on other signs of weakness.

Trying to be objective about our president is difficult for me. I am somewhat indifferent to what the general did. However, if the general had done this to a president I had respect for I'd be calling for his firing and then some. Just being honest about how I see it.
