I’m not a huge fan of McChrystal, but I do know he’s sincere about the mission and would die for his men.

Obama...NOT!

I've read that. As my son would say, “Good on him.” I never asked anyone to do anything I didn't or wouldn't do myself (I find that the height of hypocrisy) within the scope of my station in life — never been asked or would have been asked to go to war — wouldn't know how to go to war, but if I did go to war, I'd make damned sure I didn't violate my own conscience, and I'd be the biggest pain in the ass to find out what was expected and how that was supposed to happen. If I sensed my commanding officer didn't have a grasp of that (or have my welfare at heart), I'd be an even BIGGER pain in the ass (medals, brass or no medals or brass), because I CAN ask and DO understand answers. Sorry, I don't get or do stupid or callous.
