For some reason, I believe he knew exactly what he was doing and meant to do it. I don't believe the man is stupid and precedent dictates that you do not do what he did without facing the consequences. Douglas McCarther was fired during the Korean War because he crossed Truman and since that time others have been forced to step down because they could not support the Commander in Chief. Obama has to fire him or he will lose what little credibility that is left to him. This is the hill in which he (McChrystal) wanted to die on, IMNTBHO.
I haven't received my Rolling Stone (I do have a subscription) yet so I will be interested in what he really said.
