I looked for this and did not see it. This is an outrage, and no one is talking about it! Time to let out a primal scream. McChrystal does not want the American people to know the truth that comes directly from our Troops. The Kandahar battle is coming. What will we know and when will we know it...and will we get the truth about it?

If anyone is reading this, I suggest you post this article in forums ready by military and law enforcement professionals.

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.

[MestaMachine]

Thanks. Will do.

Maybe his harassment by the TSA wasn't coincidental

And hey, if you know what sites they use a lot, please let me know!

Thanks

That one, I had not heard. The timing of this just sucks.

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.

yup

Just like CNN and MSNBC’s 24/7 image of Humvee’s burning helped and encouraged the insurgency in Iraq, Michael Yon’s reporting of the surge helped and encouraged it to succeed.

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

You’re giving the TSA wayyyyyyyy too much credit.

[Pat4ever]

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.

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

[Ramius]

I’d like to find out more about this. Walking around with a mag inserted, and the bolt back... is only microseconds from having a round in the chamber. Honestly, there’s not so much difference. But if troops are required to patrol ~without~ a magazine inserted... that’s going to get people killed. IMHO.

Bush wanted to win. Obama wants to lose. And McChrystal has certainly caved in on the ROEs.

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.
