I think that whole thing about the medal for refraining from firing their weapons was close to the last straw.

I'm also pretty shure his frustration is due to being 'led' by a pack of rank idealistic amateurs.

On one hand its a bad thing to speak in public against your 'superior officers'.

On the other hand McChrystil puts the welfare of his charges ahead of his own carrier.

This will be a tough damage control issue for the white house. Its hard to fight the truth.

Have a look at McChrystil's service record.
