His Majesty missed a golden opportunity to prove that our war effort is more important than his ego. Rather, he has reinforced his stereotype as a thin-skinned, vain autocrat.

The military is supposed to be subordinate to the president, no matter who that happens to be. If the president had left such a general in place then it would have only emboldened more dissent from within.
McChrystal knew full well that what was said had the potential to end his career. 0bama did the right thing by relieiving him of command.
