The General & The Community Organizer
This is obviously an opinion piece, but it goes along with what I was thinking when I first heard about the brouhaha over the article. It didn't make any sense for the top general and his aides to be bad-mouthing Obama to some random reporter, military guys don't normally talk to the press unless they have to.
I think this guy might be over-exaggerating the effect, but the general gist of the opinion I think is reasonable. Any other opinions on this?
To think that men who are trained to be careful and deliberate in everything they do, could do something so careless and so unguarded is simply beyond comprehension. I would argue that McChrystal and his aides knew exactly what they were doing.
