I've stolen this, once again, part and parcel from Scott over at Bill In Exile. Seeing as how he served several years in the Marines, I would think he would know better than myself, what this General McChrystal and his comment entail. And he does, as is evidenced below:
This is the text of Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice {the UCMJ} and that makes what General McChrystal did a crime:
“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 Transportation, 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.”
The maximum penalty for which is dismissal, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for 1 year.
So, as I said in my earlier post on this subject, FIRE THE MOTHERFUCKER ALREADY!
And that just about says it all, I think. Any questions?

Remember when people in the media were accused of being treasonous for criticizing the domestic policies of the President and the shaky rationale for war in Iraq?
I once got yelled at for 45 minutes in a Vegas casino for wearing a t-shirt that said "I didn't vote for him. He didn't get a majority. He's not my president." with a photo of Dubya.
I can't wait for the neocon Republican right-wing assholes to start jizzing in their pants over an opportunity to defend McChrystal. Because this is so very clearly so much worse than anything the media or I ever did in questioning Dubya.
