Three Cheers for Stan!!!

Well, da'Prez has fired General McChrystal in what is a shocking outcome. The only thing that disappoints me in all this is that McChrystal made public apologies in the media about these comments. In thinking about this and wondering though, I have one question that I would love to ask him. I know you are the consummate warrior General, and that you are one of the good guys. Did you fall on your sword General to show people that da'Prez's strategy is a mistake?

I salute you General, and if you did what I think you did I applaud you. 

Disappointed

I thought General McChrystal was one of the good guys and reading what he had to say in Rolling Stone showed me he was. The troops are the ones that matter, and I am sorry to see that he will most likely be replaced by someone who is more politically acceptable. You know what though, f*&^ them if they can't take a joke, General. I know the regs say that you are not supposed to say anything about da Prez, but in this case I can't blame you for saying what you did. I hope, but doubt, that he is smart enough to keep you on the job as doing otherwise would be a huge mistake. From a former soldier who has my old unit in your care, including my younger brother and close friends, thank you for the job you have done and for telling people the truth.
