McChrystal is upset that Obama might actually follow the time table
and get us out of Afghanistan next year. Military people make war for
a living and they promote their craft. That is why we have civilian
oversight. In the end it is really McCrystal's decision to leave the
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.
