Trump fires back at McChrystal: 'Known for big, dumb mouth'
Source: The Hill
President Trump on Tuesday lashed out at retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal with a string of personal attacks after the former leader of U.S. operations in Afghanistan called the president "immoral" and dishonest.
"'General' McChrystal got fired like a dog by Obama. Last assignment a total bust. Known for big, dumb mouth. Hillary lover!" Trump tweeted on New Year's Day.
The retired four-star Army general said on ABC's "This Week" that he would not work for the Trump administration if asked, citing the president's dishonesty. "It’s important for me to work for people who I think are basically honest, who tell the truth as best they know it," McChrystal said. "I don’t think he tells the truth," he added.
McChrystal has previously been critical of Trump's policies and rhetoric. He has questioned Trump's decision to send troops to the southern border and has expressed concern over the president's repeated criticism of former military leaders, such as retired Adm. William McRaven.

He'd probably want to drive it! 
Interesting reading of the links others have provided showing the background of Gen. McChrystal. The most interesting was this: after McChrystal's interview was released and PRESIDENT Obama was informed about it (not yet having seen it), he did the following:
"Obama got in touch with White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, requesting that he distribute the article to the president's senior advisers and to have them discuss its contents and begin to think about which course to take."
So, if I read this correctly, PRESIDENT Obama had an issue with a well-respected military leader, the person in charge of the military actions in Afghanistan, and was concerned about the fitness of this General to continue in that leadership position. PRESIDENT Obama's reaction was to survey senior staff and advisers as to what they would consider proper steps to take regarding the General's actions.
WHAT!? No "trust my gut" - "I'm smarter than all of these generals" - "I pick only the best!"
Tell me - which of those two leadership models leaves you feeling safer? 
.... and Trump would be done after 1 mile. Like the military of not you do not get to Gen. McCrystal's
rank and stature without being one tough son of a bitch. I bet you McCrystal even at his age could
go backwards and with a pack and "wash out" somebody like Trump in under 40 minutes ..... sorry
I should have said 5 minutes.
