Not that what the world thinks of it is important since their participation is slipping.<\/p>\n

Stars & Stripes<\/a> asked the troops what they think about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a good thing,\u201d said Sgt. Shannon Grier, 24, of Augusta, Ga., who served in Zabul from August to December last year. \u201cHe may not have been a bad guy, but he was taking away things that gave infantrymen success, like night missions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, SGT Grier, I don’t think things like that’ll change until we get rid of this administration – they’re more interested in fighting the war the way the Karzai administration wants it fought. The DoD leadership said yesterday<\/a> that not much in Afghanistan will change with McChrystal gone;<\/p>\n

[SecDef Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mullen] stressed that McChrystal\u2019s firing was not a referendum on his campaign plan; the strategy and execution of the war in Afghanistan will not change.<\/p>\n

McChrystal was handpicked by Obama\u2019s defense leadership duo to coordinate the war.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess that means Burger King won’t be back anytime soon, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
