Stanley McChrystal at risk of losing his job
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama rebuked his Afghanistan war commander for "poor judgment" Tuesday and considered whether to fire him in the most extraordinary airing of military-civilian tensions since Harry Truman stripped Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his command a half-century ago.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal is prepared to submit his resignation at a meeting with Obama on Wednesday at the White House, two military officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Obama summoned McChrystal to explain disparaging comments about his commander in chief and Obama's top aides. The meeting was a last-ditch moment for the general once considered the war's brightest hope. US general in Afghan war at risk of losing his job - Yahoo!

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.

Oh well;
I guess that takes care of that. |
Well T-365 till his retirement and book deal, followed by Fox Analyst job.
Ask yourself this, why would Petraeus want the job back? Man, go out on top. Just rolling the dice on failure. Rule one as a commanding officer, don't mock the President publicly. |

Why? He probably didn't 'believe' in what he was asked to do.
Maybe he'll retire and write a book? |

It does not matter what the generals think of the president, they are not to publicly question him, or his orders. Regular US citizens can, military cannot.
