Washington (CNN) -- The Rolling Stone magazine journalist whose article about Gen. Stanley McChrystal helped end the Afghanistan commander's career has been denied permission to embed with a military unit in Afghanistan, a Pentagon spokesman told CNN Wednesday.
"Embeds are a privilege, not a right. The unit decided they didn't feel the trust necessary for an embed. They declined," Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan said, not specifying which unit was involved.
Michael Hastings, the reporter, said via Twitter that his embed had earlier been approved, then was "disapproved."
McChrystal's illustrious career came to an abrupt end when he resigned after he and his staff were quoted in a Hastings article criticizing and mocking key Obama administration officials.
The Army is investigating the circumstances that led to the article, an Army spokesman told CNN Wednesday.
"A four-star commander was relieved ultimately due to this article. We want to understand what happened here," Col. Tom Collins said.
The Army Inspector General, the service's independent investigative arm, began the investigation shortly after President Barack Obama fired the general in June, Collins said Wednesday.
He declined to answer questions about the scope of the review or who was being interviewed, because the investigation is ongoing.

I thought it was pretty frickin ballsey of him to even try and get an embed slot again.
Oh and he put out on his twitter account that he's refusing to cooperate with the IG's investigation of what was said and by whom in that interview too.

This guy was a fool to even attempt to get an embed. Did he really think they would give it to him after that? Well, now we have the great fool Patreus (or however the hell you spell his name) at the reigns again. Here's the problem, instead of sending real leaders out their, Obama keeps sending political puppets he can control. I vote to resurrect George S. Patton. Obama couldn't hope to hold his reign. Al Quaeda, Taliban and Iran would be gone by then end of the week with Old Blood and Guts! :bow:

Yoe mean the same "fool" who led the successful Surge in Iraq in 2007-2008. He's also tweaking the current ROE in Afghanistan.

Someone needs to frag his ass.

I wish the Pentagon would have allowed him access. I am sure there are soldiers that would love the chance to frag his rotten ass.

This is the usual methodology by "journalists" who wind up as whistle-blowers -- gotta protect your "source". He's got balls enough to even ask to be embedded again, but he doesn't have balls enough to cooperate with an investigation. Selfish little prick.
Karma will ensure he gets his. Just a matter of time.
Now the little ****weed can go embed with the peter puffers and rug munchers -- probably more to his liking anyway.

Air drop his ass in a vehicle with the Star of David plastered all over it in some Taliban stronghold.

When "Jihad Johnny" reared his ugly head, lo these many years ago, I felt then that his punishment should have been to be fitted out with soft body armor (only, no trauma plates) and set on "point" in cave clearing ops. His dumb ass would stumble upon a nest of his Jihadi buddies; they'd shoot, he'd get hit and go down, the squad drops the nest like the wrath of God, then the squad leader kicks him in the nuts, gets the asshole back on point and they proceed to the next hidey-hole.
I could see that as fitting for this 'tard as well. :evillaugh:

Well here's a hint and some advice...don't go bashing probably the most successful Generals we've had in quite some time.
