General Stanley McChrystal, Commander of US forces in Afghanistan was relieved of his duties today after a report was published in Rolling Stone magazine that has McChrystal calling Obama a clown, and saying other unflattering things about our clueless misleader and others.
Now some will say how could a general with such a long, distinguished, and patriotic career be so stupid as to do something that would get him fired. General McChrystal is a very smart man. He may have done this knowing it would get him fired, because he sees the hand-writing on the wall of the impending implosion of our military if Washington keeps treating it like the enemy. Almost like he felt a sense of urgency to get out now, while gettin is good. Our clueless misleader will probably replace this fine patriot with some left leaning, anti-war hack steeped in political correctness who will happily do his bidding.
What really torques me off as much a anything is this notion, this concept, this idea that the brave men and women who are fighting to maintain and preserve our God-given, Constitutionally protected freedoms have to check their freedoms of speech and expression at the door. That is wrong on so many levels. Almost as wrong as Osama, I mean Obama, firing McChrystal. I guess the truth really does hurt.
