Let's Not Forget Gen. McChrystal's Connection to Pat Tillman's Death

Tillman's father stated "I do believe the guy participated in a falsified homicide investigation".

If that's not enough, McChrystal's unit was involved in abuse of detainees in Iraq, with 5 of his troops convicted of abuse.

The reasons why McChrystal was put in charge of the Afghanistan operation don't outweigh the fact that he is dishonest and thinks nothing of abusing the enemy. So his memo was 'leaked' - do we have a case of a General trying usurp the Commander in Chief? There's a reason why the military doesn't call the shots and civilians are put in place to keep things in check. At least that's how it should be.

Obama needs to get rid of McChrystal. He doesn't need a renegade General with allegiances to the Cheney Chickenhawks sabotaging his decisions in Afghanistan.
