Just as I expected - no answer.
McChrystal expressed his displeasure with Obama to his aides. What was said doesn't matter, and you know it. You want to get into the nitty gritty, let's talk about McChrystal voting for Obama while we are at it. He's obviously got a track record of poor judgment, whether it was supporting Obama in 2008, allowing access to Rolling Stone like he did, or running his mouth around his aides.
It may not seem like a big deal to you or anybody else that has never served in the military as an officer, but let me assure you, it is a big deal. You simply do not do that around the people who serve under you or over you, especially when you have stars on your shoulder.
I saw somebody express their displeasure with Bill Clinton, and it cost them a lot. Many of us were disgusted by Bill Clinton, but this man who had nearly 30 years in, decided to give voice to his disgust, and he paid dearly. He had a chest full of ribbons, had volunteered twice for Vietnam while Clinton was dodging the draft, and he ran his mouth around too many people and it caught up to him.

You don't know anything at all about my military background.
