General Stanley McCrystal was recalled from Afghanistan yesterday, apparently to answer questions about an interview he did in Rolling Stone magazine in which he disparaged that dick US Ambassador Karl Eikenberry and expressed regret about his vote for President Obama, according to the BBC<\/a>;<\/p>\n

In the article, Gen McChrystal said he felt betrayed by US ambassador to Kabul Karl Eikenberry.<\/p>\n

The general’s aides mock Vice-President Joe Biden and say Gen McChrystal was “disappointed” in President Obama.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a US congressional report said the US military had been giving tens of millions of dollars to Afghan security firms who were channelling the money to warlords. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I’ve said before, Karl Eikenberry was my platoon leader when I first joined the Army and he’s a dick, so I concur with McChrystal. Also, Joe Biden is a joke without equal and that brief meeting Obama had with McCrystal was disrespectful and did little to bolster Obama’s image as a war fighter.<\/p>\n

Given all of these facts, I still think McCrystal is wrong to disparage any of the civilians under whom he serves. WTH was he doing talking to Rolling Stone? Its a piece of shit hippie magazine that lives for drama like this to boost it’s dreary sales. McCrystal and his staff showed poor judgement in allowing these pot-smoking doofuses anywhere near them.<\/p>\n

McCrystal admission that he voted for Obama doesn’t really redeem him either. Now I really question his judgment – he wasn’t thinking of the troops when he cast that ballot, and that’s going to become real obvious real fast to him.<\/p>\n

McCrystal should have let me call that dick Eikenberry names while he sticks to doing his job. I see a shortened military career – Obama was already pissed when McCrystal went to the Washington Post last year, this one is going to do some damage. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
