McChrystal, who was fired by President Barack Obama after he made disparaging remarks about him and then-Vice President Joe Biden, warned that now 'the fabric of something very dangerous has been woven', the consequences will continue long after Trump leaves office.

McChrystal is gaining the world, but losing his soul. For what? A couple years of relevance in the kingdom of Antichrist?

Send McChrystal to internet hell.

Powder puff generals are the only ones who made it through the purges of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

ALL of them saluted the transgenderizing of our military.

Another of the POS traitor generals that have failed in actual wars. Just another globalist gun-grabbing azzhole who wants the childlike life of military base housing for all of America.

And for this damned traitor to compare American patriots who protested a clearly stolen election with Al Qeida and Bin Ladin is unforgivable.

The flag ranks are utterly filled with poor quality traitors who cannot win a war. He’s another COIN idiot who forced our men to ignore poppy fields and to operate without supporting arms.

One can note that he did precisely what he was ordered to do, considering who his masters were.
