FIRE HIS ASS, He Does NOT Respect The Troops!!!   
   
Edited on Tue Jun-22-10 02:54 PM by kpete
I do have two relevant observations, the first derived from emptywheel:
http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/015118.php
http://emptywheel.firedoglake.com/2010/06/22/joe-biden-... /

He has always succeeded in–as he himself points out in the article–ordering Special Ops guys to kill many targets but then publicly scolding them the next day so as to maintain the fiction that he’s really supporting a less lethal strategy.

blah, blah, blah..........

If true, that sounds like a direct order and objective of a lib administration.  You know you have to kill the bad guys (even though you're probably in sympathy with them) in order to appear active in fighting the enemy, but then you need to make it appear as though you didn't want to kill anyone at all.

Exactly.  I have no problem with what he's saying--just with the timing of him saying it (while in uniform).

He need to go because he is an admitted Obumble supporter and he voted for the idiot.

We don't need generals like that in the military.

Same here.  No Room for the are commander mouthing off about the CIC to a reporter.  Never mind that I think he is allowing that mentality to flow down to his staff.  I had nothing good to say about Carter or Clinton while they were CIC and I was on active duty, but they were the civilian authority that was in charge of the military.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

I like to think McCrystal fell on his sword to bring attention to the Admin's ROE. This stupid shit is gettin' our guys killed!

Oh, and he definitely has buyers remorse when it comes to the "Boob in Chief"!
