Breaking: General McChrystal Fired! - GoFuckYourself.com

Amputate Your Head · 06-23-2010, 10:24 AM

Happening right now... Pres. to speak any minute.
But confirmed by CNN, McChrystal is out.

kristin · 06-23-2010, 10:27 AM

Not surprised... bad move insulting the commander and chief in a magazine who's primary advertisers are vodka and body spray.

Elli · 06-23-2010, 10:28 AM

CBC said he arrived at the White House with his written resignation in hand. That's not being fired.

sortie · 06-23-2010, 10:28 AM

I hope it ended with a fight and Obama landed a karate chop to McChrystal's temple for
the fall.

There are other countries where he would be beheaded or hanged or shot for what he did.

McChrystal and some other top people, aides, etc... had a Rolling Stone reporter with them for like, a month... and were fully aware they were going to be in an article in RS. They were quoted dissing the Pres, the VP, another General, pretty much everyone but Hillary. That's insubordination at the highest level it can go, and isn't tolerated. Same as when Truman shitcanned MacArthur.

And it isn't McChrystal's first offense either. His issues run deep.

IllTestYourGirls · 06-23-2010, 10:39 AM

Sad part is what he did was wrong, but if it was Bush, people would have been cheering his comments.

SPECIFICALLY, Article 88:

Contempt toward officials

"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 Homeland Security, 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."

Aaaah I couldn't remember that one (been a while)... good call so there's three... hahhah

The USMJ is the most fucked up thing in this country... A contract you sign makes you subject to an entirely different set of laws. Most people don't realize that. You can have a felony put on your record for something that isn't even illegal in the civilian world. I think that's pretty fucked up...

I'm sure there are plenty of people cheering McChrystal's too... his comments don't bother me, it's his very public insubordination that is the scary part. We can't allow a General that commands a chunk of the US Military openly opposing the President's war strategy. There were plenty of Generals fired under Bush & Cheney too.

A Rolling Stone interview shouldn't be taken that seriously...

heh. That's the only thing that saved his skin, then. Obama would have had to court martial him otherwise, or risk losing what support he does have for the war. Hopefully that counts as a dishonourable discharge.

Gouge · 06-23-2010, 10:48 AM

It figures that someone like Amputate Your Head would make this thread smiling with glee, and McChrystal resigned he was not fired.

Amounts to the same thing in the end, although slightly more favorable for McChrystal. At least it shows he's still sane. And you have to admit, it's shorter than "General McChrystal Offers Resignation And Pres Accepts It, Then Makes Speech!"

sortie · 06-23-2010, 11:06 AM

LOL @ people saying he resigned and wasn't fired as if he had a chance in hell of
not being fired if he didn't resign.

Vendzilla · 06-23-2010, 11:16 AM

I like the presidents speech, but it should have been the truth, something like
"the war is bigger than any one man or woman, it's bigger than the president, it's about my ego! Just shows more proof how thin skinned he is

Although knowing about the UCMJ and that shouldn't be tolerated, he did a damn good job over there and Obama should have handled it differently. I haven't read the Rolling Stone article, but heard on the news it really wasn't that bad.
As far as the resignation, I'm sure he was asked to resign, which is the same as being fired

dyna mo · 06-23-2010, 11:17 AM

McChrystal will now be earning $100k per motivational speaking engagement.
