I'm Not Getting Over This
The more I think about McCrystal's baffoonery...I can't get over it. We hired this guy to run the war effort? Either he is a complete and utter dope without any ability to project the effects of his actions or he was a man in an impossible situation and created his own "out." Both are cause for serious concern. What did he think was the "best-case" scenario of this article being published? What did he hope to accomplish? For people to start paying attention to Afghanistan again? Why would he want that? And this is guy who we rely upon to run a highly complex military campaign, employing the basically unproven and untested COIN strategy? It displays a lack of discipline, a lack of common sense, a lack of strategic thinking...all things you would want in a military leader. Makes him look like a wannabe cowboy doing "thrill seeking liquor store hold ups." What a douche.

The man is a cocky bastard, he did it because he thought he could get away with it, like he got away with the Tillman bit, when men like that go unchecked for too long this is the result. That and the whole Iclandic volcano, that thing really screwed a lot of people. If it wasn't for the ash cloud the reporter would have had one day with him instead they had to travel by land and he was embedded for an entire drunken month, he was clearly born with a rabbits paw up his ass as my friend would say.
