Have any of the men removed from their posts said anything similar? You say it "appears to you" that this is so. Based on what evidence?

Something that really aggravates me about some of my detractors on this forum is that because I hold contempt for many of the laws, I somehow do not know them, how things work etc? get real.

How real? Despite fact that the charges made against Admiral McChrystal are criminal in nature you think they are unjust? You haven't been very specific about your objections to these laws. At first you dismissed the accusation as being only "for gambling". When shown that the charge of using counterfeit chips was more than just "for gambling", you tried to equate "gambling" and "poker chips" with the intent of dismissing the charge as minor. Using counterfeit poker chips is no different than using counterfeit money. Are you saying that that law deserves your contempt? Several people have been careful to point out flaws in your arguments. Rather than answer any of those points you talk about "your detractors". Everyone is still waiting for you to show any real evidence for what you claim. So far you have none.

Again you try to dismiss the McChrystal charge, not by showing that he is innocent (which may still turn out to be the case) but by making vague claims about "some laws". Please be specific and show how laws against counterfeiting poker chips is idiotic, ridiculous or just outright unjust. Please show how the UCMJ's rule on officers criticizing their CinC are idiotic, ridiculous or just outright unjust. I'm not being a detractor at all, at least not to you personally. Your arguments, on the other hand, in my estimation deserve detraction. You've shown nothing concrete at all, yet you still insist your claims are true. They may well be, but you need to show something here.
