McChrystal was be fully aware of the consequences of openly criticizing his CIC.
However this came down, it was McChrystal who orchestrated it.

NO WAY did this general NOT know in advance that anything he said to a leftist rag like Rolling Stone could cause him to lose his post. I strongly suspect he just didn’t care anymore, and McChrystal figured what the h*ll!
Given that McChrystal was supposedly initially an Obama supporter made it all the more frustrating for him when he never got what he needed from Obama in the war effort.
The general will always be a general, but he will be free to speak out on everything if he chooses to do so.
