In the end, it shall be we the people who are in charge.

So General McChrystal gives an interview to Rolling Stone magazine. According to the usually unreliable New York Times, the General was
"openly contemptuous of some senior members of the Obama administration.”
in the interview. Did the General know what he was doing? If so, who was he hoping would hear his words? The troops? The voting citizens of America? Will the White House fire him?

Although I agree with the general, I do think he should be fired, if it is true that he spoke contemptuously of the White House. The president is the Commander in Chief. The military is below, not above the Commander in Chief. If you cannot agree with the Commander in Chief, resign, and speak your mind as a free American citizen. We will listen!

This is an interesting moral dilemna without a straight forward answer. In any busines including the military do you want someone standing by watching the crash coming and NOT yelling about it? Really????
