For those of you who don't know about General McChrystal pay attention. General McChrystal was the main general in the war in Afghanistan. One of his staff members leaked information to Rolling Stone Magazine that shouldn't have been said. General McChrystal spoke out against Obama saying he was disappointed, and lacked trust in the Obama Administration's part in the war. The leaked information was posted in an article in Rolling Stone Magazine which made it to the public's eye. After the article was posted their was instantaneous feedback. Obama of course didn't like how the General spoke about him and had him relieved of his duties. In my opinion I don't think the General shouldn't have been relieved of his duties. If I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure there's something in the constitution called "freedom of speech" along with Americans being allowed to speak out against the government too. Therefore just because the General doesn't like how the administration is running the war effort and he speaks his mind doesn't mean the President should take him out of power. That's it...
Relieves him of his duties.
