Subject: RE: BS: McChrystall sacked for being honest
Reminds me of President Truman and General MacArthur.
MacArthur was booted, as he should have been, for failure to respect command from civilian leadership.
Obama was correct in booting McChrystall for the same reasons.
Regardless of one's opinion of the war in Afghanistan and/or its conduct, the Commander-in-Chief is in command.
