There are great presidents and there are great generals you don't often get both . . . .

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

General Stanley McChrystal is a great general  . . . . Obama as president??? Not so much.

Subject: NEVER STAND IN LINE AGAIN (Gen. Stanley McChrystal U.S.Army)

 

Some men carry and handle their diplomacy better than others........

When former U.S. Military commander in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, was called into the Oval Office by Barack Obama, he knew things weren't going to go well when the President accused him of not supporting him in his political role as President.
"It's not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, it's my job to support you as Commander-in-Chief," McChrystal replied, and he handed Obama his resignation.
Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation the President made a cheap parting shot. "I bet when I die you'll be happy to pee on my grave."
The General saluted. "Mr. President, I always told myself after leaving the Army I'd never stand in line again."

I stood in line in a driving rain to see General Eisenhower, he was a great general, a world leader  AND a great President.

There IS one thing Obama is right about though, there ARE thousands of true patriots including myself who will stand in line to piss on his grave IF he doesn't hide it like he has most of the rest of his former life.
