We need to reliaze the screaming media screams only when reports against socialism pop up. mccrystal is a brown noser. He’s made his stars by going along to get along, he is a politician...not a military man.
From Michael Yon's FaceBook Page little while back. He is the one who started the no bullet in chamber thing.
I wouldn’t expect the MSM to stand up for Michael Yon. He puts every other peacenik war reporter to shame.
But this does make me think less of McChrystal. The surge worked well in Iraq, but that was when Bush was in charge.
Bush wanted to win. Obama wants to lose. And McChrystal has certainly caved in on the ROEs.
I would agree, this is very bad news, and the word should be spread. Our troops are in danger and are being mistreated by this administration, and McChrystal has gone along with it.
Will send this around. It is an outrage! I know Barry despises the Military (and the feeling is mutual), but McChrystal is a huge disappointment. Our men and women in uniform and our Vets deserve much better.
I thought the TV show 24 was fantasy with peace-at-any-price leaders and Jack Bauer trying to make it right, but reality is catching up today and we are in deep ****.
May the merciful Lord watch over our troops and protect them from enemies both foreign and domestic.
Huh? I heard him on Lars Larsen yesterday. He said nothing about being banned in Afghanistan. Said he was going back real soon.
I knew McChrystal was a pansy when he banished Popeyes. No, really!!
It appears he is not a “soldier’s general” and that he is content with telling the Supreme Leader what he wants to hear. Not good.
Yon’s reporting in Bangkok has been a total joke. He keep parroting government propaganda and doesn’t even have a basic understanding of the dynamics. Given the horrible quality of his reporting here in Thailand, it makes me question his reporting from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Seems to me the military commander should have final say on who and whether outsiders are imbedded with troops, regardless of their popularity with folks back home. The military is not a democracy.
They are too busy covering up the sexual harrassment and career busting going on at ABC News. Read the reader comments at the link to see what's really been going on inside ABC News.
ABC News can report on the SEC watching porn while Wall Street collapses, but what about the maliciousness and clique-building that destroyed careers at ABC?

~~Action ping.. Yon is THE best on the frontlines,
reporting the truth.
I have known this for days. I wonder why it’s taken this long to get to FR breaking news?
MestaMachine, by the way I was not criticizing you personally. Thanks for the post.
One general officer resigning and then speaking the truth at 5:00 PM that day, in civilian clothes, would do wonders.
Who's got the stones to do it?
Where in the hell are we headed?
The NYT can leak secrets all over the place, but this one honest journalist can’t let us know what’s going on in a war?
Oh, wait. I get it. If we do well, that would make the ENEMY look bad. We can’t have that now, can we?
Blackfive.net and thisainthell.us carry Yon’s articles. They are a good place to look for info.
