KUDOS...TO General McChrystal... Somebody needs to stand up to the Obama Administration...

Obama is firing an OFFICER OF THE MILITARY...because he has FREEDOM OF SPEECH...(or at least I believe we have Freedom of Speech...
I am still amazed that anybody...ANYBODY with a brain stem would think that this administration is worse than the Bush admin. He hasn't even been in office to screw up as quickly as Bush did.

@Gu44mby Youre out of your MIND if you think this socialist ,marxist devil is good for America! No wonder out country is in the toilet with people like YOU voting these America haters into office! Do some research on what BARRY stands for and believes in. It ISNT American values thats for sure!

I do not believe that General McCrystal accidently went to a pop-magazine, and shot off at his mouth. He if anyone, is a deliberate man. He was either ordered to do so to generate a pretext to have him suddenly removed which would otherwise require an explanation too close to the truth, or he did so on his own initiative to generate that same outcome.

@Revelation47 General McCrystal is not a sympathetic character. That being said, he is a scapegoat for whore politicians and their homicidal appointees. It’s a shitty war, and he was handed impossible boundary conditions and demands. IMO he was under instruction to deliver up an obvious excuse to have him summarily relieved of command, so that his going will not generate any untoward investigation or speculation. Take a HARD look at his replacement. Something //big// is in the wind.

Boo Hoo, WTF is wrong with the prez? Its freedom of speech.... And the man is actually over there vs sitn in his office jerking off!

@No1Rides4Free Dude..the General did this to himself. Obama did not say hey go bitch to Rolling Stone. Article 88. That general broke military law all by himself. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut and do his job. Up to this point where did you ever see Obama critize this guy? The general wanted more troops Obama gave them to him when it was politically dangerous. Dont let your dislike of Obama cloud the issue. The General did this to himself plain and simple.

@No1Rides4Free As I said in an earlier post. You people let your hatred for Obama cloud the issue. This general WAS running the war. He was given troops and given support. He was not fired for not doing his job he was fired for breaking Article 88 by bitchin to a left leaning magazine and undermining civilan leadership which is a LAW in our country.Why could he not talk to Stars and Stripes or Soldier of Fortune. Did Obama call him up and order him to talk to rolling stone? The general failed.
@No1Rides4Free ...you know who the real dope is ...a four star general that knows he's not supposed to disrespect his superior officers...i.e.(President Barack Obama)for real ..President Obama could have had this bastard shot under military law...
What does this MAROON OBAMA or his left wing regime know about the military-NOT A DAMN THING-I say bring the troops home, and oust this pretender without delay !!!!
@Eadhmonn This is not about Obama..This is about a loudmouth genral breaking military law. Obama didnt fire him because of the job he was doing. All the general needed to do was keep his mouth shut and do his job. And as far as bring the troops home that is why there is a deadline. Funny thing his is being critized because he has a deadline when the troops come home. So Ead how do you suggest the troops come home?
@taffydavenport1 I guess you are a Bush lover or a racist. A big mouth General breaks military law, shows our enemies a weakness in the command chain. Causes confusion with our troops sacrificing their lives in the field..and this is Obama's fault? Dude Obama supported this clown increased troops to fight our enemies and established a timetable when they can come home..what else do you want? if you are real mad..think who started this in the first place...Bush!!
@maven21 Yes it is Obama's fault. In the military chain of command responsibility always lies with the commander. Ever heard of the phrase 'the buck stops here'. No exceptions, no excuses.
@taffydavenport1 How? Wars started before him, out of control spending was before him. Financial abuse from wall street was before him. The patriot act that you probably did nothing about was before him. 9/11 was before him.So how is America going down? So without using a Rush Limbaugh cookie cutter response. What specifically is happening where America is going down that is directly Obamas fault? an oil spill, a health care bill? winning the Nobel peace prize? Improving international relations?
@maven21 How??? lol...I,ll tell you how...Go read Wayne Allyn Root..the Obama agenda. You,ll know exactly how!.. since you're too dumb to figure him out on your own!
@maven21 Go search Wayne Allyn Root the Obama agenda... you stupid moron. The guy is a socialist scumbag ruining the economy just like he was taught to do! Read it! I dare you!
OBAMA is a foolish nut job. General McChrystal exposed the idiot foolish Obama who lacks experience, and the nut jobs in White House who have been funding Taliban with money and other hand instruct soldiers to combat Taliban.
This is exactly what the General referred to;;; the real enemy is the white house admin.
This is why he is being removed. for being Honest!
@limousineny Funding Tailiban was before Obama when we used them to fight the soviets. The General is being removed for breaking a Militiary LAW. All the general had to do was his job. Nobody ordered him to talk to RS magazine. Obama supported him and his plan and let him fight. So how is Obama a foolish nut job?
I would have written President Obama a letter expressing my deep concern. I guess this guy got caught up in culture of celebrity+feelings of associates and didn't think of reactions. I think, instead of a giant cave-maze, they should mock modern culture and make the stars of them stars, heroes and then hang a few in the cave wall being eaten by jaguars for being unworthy. Noble people do noble things. Desire is fire in the din.
It's about time our president did something like this, Lord knows that BUSH got rid of anybody who said boo when he screwed up AND HE REALLY SCREWED UP! Go get Obama!
This is what happens when the military is impeded by political jockying. You can't help but vent your frustration and disgust for a chain of command, including the commander in chief, that sits on it's thumbs while soldiers like you die. You gave us a mission, and then told us to make do with what we have or less. Do shoot, don't shoot. Kill them, but nicely. So that it doesn't make us look bad to the other nations.
@drummerboy139 More drivel. Counter insurgency depends upon winning hearts and minds, upon a minimum of civilian casualties, upon bringing the native population fully into the effort. Obama did not design the plan, he signed on to McChrystals plan [ and beleives Petraues is precisely the person to EFFECTIVELY carry it out. McChrystal was a stone fool to behave the way he did. Period.
@drummerboy139 this isnt politcal Article 88 Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. He broke military law with his mouth.
@maven21 You're right. What the General (and his staff) did was wrong and against UCMJ. My point was that when you stop a soldier from doing his job because you want to play politics you cause descension. Especially when he's the Subject matter expert.
@drummerboy139 I hear you, but I dont know where he has stopped this general. The Aremican public wants the troops out so Obama set a timetable. The General wanted more troop and Obama gave them to him. Other then telling the guy to keep his mouth shut he has allowed this general to do what he needed to so. He supported him. From what I have seen the General is a spec ops warrior who dosent care for civilian leadership.I understand but he was fired for his mouth not because of the job he did.
It seems that our President sees his primary role as "looking for an ass to kick". If the General's judgment is poor, what does this say about the ability of the administration to make critical personnel selections? We now have the THIRD General in this assignment in the short time since the "bring the troops home" candidate sent 30,000 additional troops to yet another conflict zone. We have become the laughing stock of the world.
KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!!! Thats why America is in the mess were in now!!! Typical corrupt government bull shit!!! Maybe the American people should listen to this man!!! He should have said these things man to man not to Rolling Stones though. Americans, brush up on you Arabic and spanish. We'll be speaking one of them soon!!!!!!
@bb44332211 ......let me tell you that ..wouldn't it be a good thing comeing from nothing..(not that President Obama has) ...to being the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES....you dumb jackass....
Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) prohibits commissioned officers from speaking or writing "contemptuous words" against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present.
There out to discredit a man who has the guts to speak out against what is happening. This goes really deep. Obama is a front man & General Mc Chrystal knows it. There is a lot of sinister work carried out by people who run not just America but the world. Not enough room here but we are heading for a controlled implosion of the free life we value for the benefit of a select few. General Mc Chrystal is a very intelligent individual , he knew the seriousness of his remarks & the repercussion's
@ptmacman9 - Is that the most intelligent reply you are able to give ? Crawl back into your sleepy hollow hill billy & carry on watching your dumb down TV channels.
This General is the first one to speak the truth about the crises in Afghanistan. Now according to the news over here he has been "relieved of his duties " Obama should be sent out there for three months then he might just wake up to reality
LEAVE THIS MAN ALONE!! He may be a higher ranking officer within the military but he is protected by our first amendment. He's allowed to speak what he feels about whom he feels, he defends those rights everyday. Grant you it may have been a little un professional but he had right to say what, opinions like like @ss holes everybody has one. Personally I agree with man and I don't feel half these people should be in office. He just speaks what your too scared to. Mr. president "Get Over It!!!"
Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) prohibits commissioned officers from speaking or writing "contemptuous words" against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present.
General McChrystal should have known better to make these statements.

What you have stated is exactly what is going on here.
The issue doesn't translate well for civilians as they don't understand The Commander in Chief of the United States armed forces is the U.S. President.
Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) prohibits commissioned officers from speaking or writing "contemptuous words" against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present.
@81Nevaeh The military has its own code of ethics, a code every general must be very familiar with for obvious reasons. McChrystal repeatedly violated this code and was becoming a divisive element [ as McCain and Lindsey Graham pointed out earlier today]. Moreover, he wasn't doing a very fucking good job over there. Petraues is most most respected mind [and leader] we have in the military and I fully expect him to do a much better and more professional job.
@81Nevaeh ....it just shows how ignorant you are....the military has chain of commands....meaning every rank in command as a purpose of respect....from the President to the private.... its call insubodinate.....
@81Nevaeh Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) prohibits commissioned officers from speaking or writing "contemptuous words" against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present.
It's about time our president did something like this, Lord knows that BUSH got rid of anybody who said boo when he screwed up AND HE REALLY SCREWED UP! Go get Obama for his un-professionalism and lack of respect for the office. Free speech I understand but there is too much of this kind of disrespect going on in our society now!
@Gu44mby President Bush nutured traitors in our society and let everyone say anything for ritual sacrifice. I didn't hate him even still or think he was foolish; he might have had a hidden purpose for this that screwed my personality hue caste over. I was scared of this. It made me insecure because some people shouldn't even be allowed to say things, but they are for others.
@81Nevaeh sorry but your wrong Article 88 Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. He could have been court martialed for his mouth.
Boo Hoo, WTF is wrong with the prez? Its freedom of speech.... And the man is actually over there vs sitn in his office jerking off! Not doing anything about the gulf, not doing anything on any of his promises! I agree the the General! He sees everything from the frontline and doesnt have anyone writing a speech for him! WAY TO GO GENERAL!
Military law prohibits any officer from openly criticizing the President. The general violated his oath to the United States of America.
As you are as ignorant as most people calling for the president to do something about the gulf, what would you have the president do? The Oil industry doesn't seem to be doing much for the problem and they are loosing money on the deal.
Point being if people who are loosing money over the leak and can't fix it what exactly could the president do?
@81Nevaeh you're incorrect. when you're serving in the military, you do NOT have the "freedom of speech" that civilians enjoy. speak to a serviceman or woman before you open your mouth about things you just don't understand.
@abovefilms I have spoken with a service man lol i have two brothers in the army. quite frankly their tired of the bullshit within the government also. all of the mindless puppets obeying orders. they all swore an oath to defend the country, its people, and constitution but yet they do not. I commend this general for what he's done. It's a double standard if you ask me and don't you ever in your life tell me not to open my mouth again,period! Last time I checked you can't make me
@81Nevaeh don't open your mouth again. and i doubt seriously if you spoke to any servicemen about what happened. every single one i know agreed that the general was out of line and deserved to be pulled. you can't have unit cohesion if privates stop being 'mindless puppets obeying orders.' what happens when majors start questing colonels over every command given? you know nothing of the armed services.
@jensen1901 FUCK U and OBAMA! If that asshole had any respect for THE UNITED STATES and the real heros like Mcchrystal, then maybe more people would respect him.
@marcocosmic First of all Bush got rid of more men in our military then you'd care to know, second and last, Obama does not even come close to disrespecting this Country as Bush did. bush Bankrupted us and started this War.By the way do u know if he (Bush) found Bin Laden or those weapons yet?
@marcocosmic You're out of your fucking mind. Who do you think created this shit. You have got to be kidding. Bush is riding on his billions and his oil well while millions have died and are dying because of what he create. Obama may not be doing a good job of cleaning it up but it took bush 8yrs to create it. You want to blame someone you damn well better look back over the years, this shit didn't happen overnight and Obama did not create it.
@ALEXANDERWRRR You are a very ignorant person. The subject of this matter had to do with the firing of Mcchrystal by some incompetent so called "commander in chief" The topic was not about an oil spill. OK???
@marcocosmic If I'm ignorant then you are stupid because it was you who said Obama had no respect for the United States. Then I just educated your ass on who really disrespected this Country.Plus who the hell was talking about oil spills.
@marcocosmic How?.we are in 2 wars now because of Bush. We have the oil spill because the oil lobby has been influencing and weaking offshore rules and regulation for years. We did not have health care for millions of people during the last adminstration. and we were already at a major budget deficit before Obama was in office. Patriot act was passed in previous adminstration and you should have been mad about that. So tell me how is he worse..oh yeah hes black..that it!!!
Professional Army, my ass. The days of American and Nato forces in Afghanistan are numbered. Bunch of invading losers. Can't even fight with a few thousand people with just simple guns and bare foot.
Why did he do it? Obama and his administration are liars and crooks that are trying to take this country down for the love of money and power, but why would McChrystal do this? It's interesting that Obama says that McChrystal used poor judgement. I'd say they both used poor judgement. Why in the heck is our president not supporting his general? Given that McChrystal VOTED for this idiot in the Whitehouse, I'd say this is nothing more than a karma payback.
Who on earth wants to be in Afganistan in 53-55 Celcius temperatures..., he probably wanted to go fishing(On the Pacific) and take a, not so early retirement, good show my man. I see a great retirement for McChristal, maybe a tour of Europe, and a sunny beach with nothing but clear skies and some of those lovely pinacoladas. I'd suggest Wreck Beach in B.C. Canada, it's the best. Write your memoirs a little ahead of schedual and take it easy, the rat race is over, make a few kids,have a few beers
THAT'S RIGHT...FOLKS..!! THIS GUY WITH THE GLASSES... SAID IT... AND THEY MEAN WHAT THEY SAY....(((((((KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT))))))))
Or You Will Lose Your Job, You Will Lose Your Civil Rights, You Will Lose Your Home, You Will Be Incarcerated, OR YOU WILL BE KILLED...

@Eadhmonn This is not about Obama..This is about a loudmouth genral breaking military law. Obama didnt fire him because of the job he was doing. All the general needed to do was keep his mouth shut and do his job. And as far as bring the troops home that is why there is a deadline. Funny thing his is being critized because he has a deadline when the troops come home. So Ead how do you suggest the troops come home?

@taffydavenport1 I guess you are a Bush lover or a racist. A big mouth General breaks military law, shows our enemies a weakness in the command chain. Causes confusion with our troops sacrificing their lives in the field..and this is Obama's fault? Dude Obama supported this clown increased troops to fight our enemies and established a timetable when they can come home..what else do you want? if you are real mad..think who started this in the first place...Bush!!

OBAMA is a foolish nut job. General McChrystal exposed the idiot foolish Obama who lacks experience, and the nut jobs in White House who have been funding Taliban with money and other hand instruct soldiers to combat Taliban.
This is exactly what the General referred to;;; the real enemy is the white house admin.
This is why he is being removed. for being Honest!

You gave us a mission, and then told us to make do with what we have or less. Do shoot, don't shoot. Kill them, but nicely. So that it doesn't make us look bad to the other nations.

@maven21 You're right. What the General (and his staff) did was wrong and against UCMJ. My point was that when you stop a soldier from doing his job because you want to play politics you cause descension. Especially when he's the Subject matter expert.
drummerboy139 1 year ago
@drummerboy139 I hear you, but I dont know where he has stopped this general. The Aremican public wants the troops out so Obama set a timetable. The General wanted more troop and Obama gave them to him. Other then telling the guy to keep his mouth shut he has allowed this general to do what he needed to so. He supported him. From what I have seen the General is a spec ops warrior who dosent care for civilian leadership.I understand but he was fired for his mouth not because of the job he did.

It seems that our President sees his primary role as "looking for an ass to kick". If the General's judgment is poor, what does this say about the ability of the administration to make critical personnel selections? We now have the THIRD General in this assignment in the short time since the "bring the troops home" candidate sent 30,000 additional troops to yet another conflict zone. We have become the laughing stock of the world.

@81Nevaeh The military has its own code of ethics, a code every general must be very familiar with for obvious reasons. McChrystal repeatedly violated this code and was becoming a divisive element [ as McCain and Lindsey Graham pointed out earlier today]. Moreover, he wasn't doing a very fucking good job over there. Petraues is most most respected mind [and leader] we have in the military and I fully expect him to do a much better and more professional job.
