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.

Pray for our young and brave boys - without them there is no hope.
They are the reservoir of truth, courage and honor that sustains a nation! IMHO

C, McChrystal designed the ROE in Afghanistan. obama signed off on it. but these are HIS rules and he is a lunatic.

McCrystal is following orders. It may or may not actually be his fault. I don't know yet how much blame he should get, apart from Barry's rules. But Yon is directly on point-- we're going to lose Afghanistan unless something changes and soon.
