If he were politician he could get away with saying what he did.
I am stunned that a military man would make those type of comments on the record about the President. He worked many years and he just threw his life's work away. Dumb, dumb, and dumb
If the general is saying these things publically it signals to me the entire military leadership is seeing and feeling what the rest of us are and this spells big trouble for Hussein not for McCrystal.

He can be court martialed for what he said about the Vice President alone. No commissioned officer is allowed to publically say negative comments about the civilian leaders of the military. This includes the VP and the Sec. of defense among others.

A belief in the written constitution. The belief that we are responsible for ourselves and for our families. The belief that we are allowed to fail. The belief in a strong national defense are a few of the things that make me just a conservative girl.
