Nonsense.
Obama has NO plan.
Therefore, how could any General be publicly “opposed” to the non-existant plan?
This brave General did his duty, to his country, by exposing the evil and incompetence of Obama.
More power to him!
Obama has the power to remove the General.
Notice that the spineless Obama has not done so.
Which means, IMHO, that the General will speak again.
Which means, IMHO, that the POTUS will move closer to the General's position.

Wrong! The military works for civilian leadership. POTUS is the commander in chief, and so long as he doesn’t issue unlawful orders, the military is obligated to follow him to the best of its ability.
McChrystal is free to resign or retire. Otherwise, he is not supposed to publicly air his disagreements with the POTUS or carry on a public relations campaign to force the POTUS to follow a particular strategy (no matter how worthy that strategy is).
