Speaking truth to power-I like it
“Speaking truth to power-I like it”
It’s not the speaking truth to power that is the problem. It’s going to the press that is the problem.
McChrystal is not fit for command if he actually went to the press with criticism of the Commander-in-Chief.
He would not tolerate it from his command structure, nor should he.
This is unfortunately the Generalship we get with wars that aren’t really wars.
Any General worth his stars would have been fired years ago for speaking up against nation building, rules of engagement that endanger troops, and other pursuits that do not lead to a military victory - which was in fact ruled out by GWB several years ago in Iraq and Afghanistan.
