\"McChrystal<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Yup, if you say things like assault weapons (whatever those are today) shouldn’t be in schools, I’ll agree with you every time. That’s why none of the guns I own have ever been in a school – because the law tells me that I can’t take guns (of any type) into schools. But, then, I’m a law abiding citizen.<\/p>\n

This load from McChrystal is exactly that…a load. I’ve stayed quiet since the discussion about his book began, because I really did respect the job he did in the Middle East, but honestly, I think he’s a tool. Obviously, he didn’t like the job that the Obama Administration was doing in Afghanistan, but he kept his mouth shut after he was effectively fired for what others told a reporter. Soldiers in Afghanistan died while he kept his mouth shut. McCrystal had the horsepower and the capital to spend while soldiers were being shot while the administration disarmed in the face of the enemy.<\/p>\n

And now, he wants to jump in behind the Obama Administration on gun control? Seriously? He let the Obama Administration disarm our troops on the battlefield, and now he wants to disarm the folks at home? <\/p>\n

In this link<\/a>, sent to us by FrostyCWO, McChrystal says;<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent a career carrying typically either an M16 or an M4 Carbine. An M4 Carbine fires a .223 caliber round which is 5.56 mm at about 3000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It\u2019s designed for that,\u201d McChrystal explained. \u201cThat\u2019s what our soldiers ought to carry. I personally don\u2019t think there\u2019s any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets and particularly around the schools in America.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I spent a career carrying an M16, too. I like the feeling of it, it feels comfortable. Like I said, I don’t take mine around schools – I take it to the range, like I did during my career. While I agree that there’s no need, per se<\/em>, there’s also no need for a Porsche or a Ferrari on the street. But there they are.<\/p>\n

Yeah, this is more of McChrystal’s blind obedience to Obama, regardless of the consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
