McChrystal is upset that Obama might actually follow the time table

Army or not but he can have his options in the Army severely limited


What most career military personnel want most is to stay in uniform, no
matter what.

I doubt McCrystal will be willing to fly a desk in Fumbuck Arkansas.
If Obama relieves him, he will be spending more time with his family
and writing his memoirs. He might even get a show on Fox like Ollie.

Obie just fired him. His humongus ego wouldn't let him do otherwise.

Hey, once out and a civilian he can talk.... Will be interesting.

No surprize, Obama's ego, good assertion.
