L O L ! ~ McChrystal said what?
He voted for Obama who was his choice or who was not his choice.
If Obama was his choice, then he is no discerning student of politics.
If he voted for Obama and Obama was not his choice, then he had a different motive.
It could have been a negative motive...simply to get a command. It could have been a positive motive....so that some troop-minded general would be able to stand between troops and a misguided president in hopes of ensuring the right thing was done for troops.
I do not for one minute believe that McChrystal accidentally spoke in the open in front of a Rolling Stone reporter. He knew he was setting up an explosion.
What was his intent?

The Stone interview spells out his attitude well as a renegade who would have it his way. And he got away with it. I think he saw the futility of his efforts, that they would no longer play out to his satisfaction and perhaps he was just ready to get out of Afganistan.
