What this all tells me,is that Obama is NOT in control of his Military.In earlier days,Gen.McChrystal would have been reprimanded harshly.This reprimand would be lodged in his file to make certain that he would never be promoted to higher rank.His Military career would have been finished,and retirement the best option.But alas,we live in the alternate world now,where up is down,in is out,etc.Obama should have studied the real history behind his choice for Sec.Defense,"Robert Gates".I remember when Obama was taking on Hillary in the primaries.The long time civil rights activist Andrew Young said Obama was too young(inexperienced) to run for President.I thought "shut up",you just want Hillary to win.I'm now thinking that Andrew Young knows a hellava lot more about politics than I.
