Stanley McCrystal is an embarrassment to the military. He toys with the lives of the men in the field. It is his decision to have his men take off their protective clothing, eliminate air strikes and walk into the Afgani villages without protection. He is the author of the “rules of engagement” that put our brave men at unconscionable risk.

McCrystal is a failure. Our soldiers pay the price for his stupidity. He deserves Obama and vice-versa; our soldiers deserve a leader.

If McCrystal had a speck of the courage of our soldiers he would resign.

The key to this campaign are the ROE.

If you restrict air power and artillery,
you place our brave troops in a meat grinder.

You place them into the 19th century like the British.
