Via Taegan, it seems pretty clear cut to me.

A reader sends this excerpt from the Uniform Code of Military Justice:

“Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

    as a court-matrial MAY direct.

    Ok, who may,
    and
    who shall bring??

    That's even worse, but after reading about his background and history with the dead soldier named Tillman, I can see he has neither the honor nor the intelligence to lead.

    There's been some chatter on the web that McChrystal did it on purpose because the strategy in A isn't working, and this way he won't get blamed. He gets fired, it all goes to shit, Obama gets blamed.

    Our President is a very compassionate man. He will allow the good general to retire with full benifits and no charges or hard feelings.

  • Linzack

    Sadly, Obama has yet to prove he has the balls for a move like a courtmashall of this traitorous Gen McKlumsy. DG

    What would he achieve behaving this way? For someone of his military ranking, its not just career suicide, but a criminal decision that does nothing for the mission of his country and the security of his troops.
