I would be interested to know how many of our military lost their lives and/or were seriously wounded due to McChrystal's ridiculous tightening of the rules of engagement in Afghanistan
Before I get accused of the same thing, I have the utmost respect for our retired and active duty military personnel. Anyone willing to make that sacrifice for our country is deserving of our respect.
BUT That service does NOT give you some special pass or privilege to be above criticism, reproach or entitle you to instant credibility on anything and everything.
Argue with McRaven about military strategy, no. But refuse to be cowed when he enters an arena that is outside his lane. HELL YA.
sit down, McChrystal. McRaven decided to become a political animal, which puts his service record in second seat, and opened the door for anyone to criticize his political opinions.
And there is the entire reason for this non-story story; to push a book no one is going to read.
I don’t remember Trump ever attacking a serving military officer. Only those who had retired and who were speaking as private citizens.
meh
The guy who couldn’t control his troops
This just in: John McCain is still dead.
His use of the phrase, ". . . thoughtful people," implies that the current President is not "thoughtful" in the manner desired by Progressives; yet, facts on the ground seem to dispute his premise. That must just gall such a "thoughtful" General who failed to achieve missions to improve the critical conditions America faced during his time of duty.
Obama stooge bump for later....
Yo General; those attacks are on the Commander in Chief at the time - obama.

Wasn’t he the guy who put epaulets on flight suits? The guys called them Elvis suits and threw them away as soon as he wasn’t in charge
Sorry moron. Military service does not come with a get out of jail free card.
Seems to me that retired Gen McChrystal must combat his desire to mythologize McCain’s and Adm. William McRaven’s history.
“Retired Gen. McChrystal: Trump’s attacks on military service members are ‘disturbing’”
This is the guy whose wife told him to attack General Robert E. Lee, so in recent days he publicly attacked General Lee. The purpose was to rehabilitate himself (McChrystal).
I have no use for him.
I find it more disturbing that McChrystal and others have decided to publically engage in obvious democrat party orchestrated political stunts.
McChrystal is ignoring that McRaven attacked Trump first and that McCain and Trump were in a pissing contest.
Interesting that all are “McSomethings”
This guy was always a douchenozzle.
Still a Communist after all these years of service to AMERICA? How do guys like Stanley get ahead in OUR military?
“disturbing” is a weenie word now in use by the likes of Lessie Holt and other presenters and presenterettes.
