“”it is better for military advice to come up through the chain of command”

What better military advice could a commander in Chief get than that from his boots on the ground general?

“Listen. The President is really, really pissed about the Olympics. And he’s decided to take it out on you, General. Sorry. It’s the Chicago way.”

Isn’t calling out the General in the media the same tactic? Shouldn’t this be done in private through the chain of command?

“We will be examining different options,” said Jones, a retired Marine general and former Supreme Allied Commander Europe. “And I’m sure General McChrystal and General [David] Petraeus and Admiral [Mike] Mullen will be willing to present different options and different scenarios in this discussion that we’re having.”

We don’t like your assessment. We don’t want to do it your way. Give us one they’ll like at the State Dept and the DoJ.

Oh- and the ACLU too. Be sure to get their ideas on how to wage war.

Obama is stalling and he sends Jones out to make this statement that really means absolutely nothing. Obama needs to either $hit or get off the pot. Either supply McChrystal with what he needs or get the hell out.

The “chain of command” at present leads to a phony “commander in chief”.

"I think the end is much more complex than just about adding 'X' number of troops," Jones said on CNN. " But I don't foresee the return of the Taliban and I want to be very clear that Afghanistan is not in imminent danger of falling."

Your "Muslim in Chief" has emboldened them with the suicidal ROE.. They just attacked a FOB and killed 8 service members.. Fifty Three KIA since august..

Barry Hussein has made sitting ducks out of our troops.

Thanks alot libtards and "moderates" You've elected the enemy.

Pray for our troops..

Maybe Nancy Pelosi could invite the Taliban over to her San Francisco mansion for tea. She could show them her collection of tea cozies. I'm sure the Taliban will be so impressed, they will surrender immediately and turn over their arms.

Oh, so....in other words (leftist translation)....they’re telling McChrystal to STFU. McChrystal and any other general that might want to go ‘on record’.

How very not surprising, coming from a CIC that’s afraid to be in the presence of the average military person cause he’s afraid that they DO see right through him.

And he’s right.

And when the “Chain of Command” doesn’t respond a good leader does what he must to protect his troops, whether from the enemy or spineless, cowardly, and honorless politicians.

This Administration had better start listening to its officers in the field.
