Thank you for posting this. I had formatted it, saved it to post, and then gone crazy with this flotilla from hell crap.
Everything is just getting too crazy. The world is so close to war and no one seems to get it.

Everything that Yon has concluded, I have posted here since the day McChrystal was appointed to this command. I have insisted that the man is certifiable and is a danger to our troops. Over the year he has been in command, our worst fears about McChrystal have proven true. We came to our conclusions independently BEFORE Michael Yon ever sent out a report.
While others kept up with Yon, we were keeping up on McChrystal on our own. When this was first brought to my attention, it was very apparent that Yon was being tossed for telling nothing but the truth.
I am at a loss and cannot understand what has happened to our military. The high command is worthless. What is more, I question their judgment and their allegiance to the oath they swore. America is in the most danger it has ever faced and we seem to be asking, even begging for it.
I pray. There doesn’t seem to be anything else left to do.

Are these the ones who hung around when Clinton emasclated the military during his terms? (rhetorical question)

"Within a day of Tillman's death, McChrystal was notified that Tillman was a victim of fratricide. Shortly thereafter, McChrystal was put in charge of paperwork to award Tillman a posthumous Silver Star for valor. On April 28, 2004, six days after Tillman's death, McChrystal approved a final draft of the Silver Star recommendation and submitted it to the acting Secretary of the Army, even though the medal recommendation deliberately omitted any mention of friendly fire, included the phrase "in the line of devastating enemy fire," and was accompanied by fabricated witness statements. On April 29, McChrystal sent an urgent memo warning White House speechwriters not to quote the medal recommendation in any statements they wrote for President Bush because it "might cause public embarrassment if the circumstances of Corporal Tillman's death become public." McChrystal was one of eight officers recommended for discipline by a subsequent Pentagon investigation but the Army declined to take action against him." Wiki( ? )on McChrystal.

On the other hand, he's a good jogger, has low fat, and is a good rear echelon chubby hunter.
