Agreed with your #40, but as to #49, Ralph Peters has written that “McChrystal conformed to the Obama Way of War by imposing rules of engagement that could have been concocted by Code Pink.”
that is from almost three months ago- the general may be a “horrible leader” as you said, but he was put there by Obozo, wasnt he? If he resigned, wouldnt the Usurper replace him with someone who had a similar outlook and willingness to “conform to his way of war”?
Ultimately the buck stops with the CIC and the blood is on his effeminate hands.
McChrystal presented these ROE back in July of this year. He did not conform. He was already of the same mind. A good Commander would NEVER sacrifice his troops the way McChrystal has and do so willingly. McChrystal has done this willingly. NO RESPECT for the man. He deserves none. not from me, and not from the Troops he is PERSONALLY endangering.
