Recently General McChrystal was relieved of duty after criticizing president Obama. The General was interviewed by Rolling Stone magazines and he started to mock vice president Joe Biden and criticized President Obama on his plans about the War. He believed that Obama was giving him a unsellable position. The General also felt betrayed by the embassador. What is even worse was that the General said it openly to the public. A similar situation happened 60 years ago during the Korean War. General McArthur one of the most important generals in American history was fired by president Truman over a disagreement on the War.
During Obama's speech he mentions that McChrystal was a great general and how he was a very important member in the War. However, in my opinion Obama did not mean anything that he said. Why would he fire one of his top generals if he was so good?
