McChrystal will be fine. I am sure there are going to be more retired
officers at the local O club who agree with him than who disagree with
him. He will probably never have to buy another drink.
At least we didn't have to endure an "old soldier" speech .. yet.
Like J Herring said. I imagine he still is in the process of mustering
out so we are not hearing much from him. I was surprised it wasn't
June 30 but the wheels of government turn slowly.
There was a glitch in my paperwork and it took them an extra month to
process me out too. The up side was that made me eligible for a better
GI bill deal but I didn't use it. I had a good job the day I got out
and when I got around to buying my first house, the conventional
mortgage was better than GI, since I had money to put down.

Yes, he'll be fine. But, he will be forever remembered as the guy who got
fired for shooting off his mouth.


Agreed. They'll probably put a bronze statue of him in a park somewhere.
