A United States Marine General Should Replace General Mcchrystal, Christopher C. Cooper Dr.
Christopher C. Cooper Dr.
General McChrystal’s insubordinate statements about the President and Vice President of the United States represent a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). What the Obama administration should take from this unfortunate event is that the top commander in Afghanistan (and in any war for that matter) should be a United States Marine general. Marines stay fit. Marines follow orders. Marine officers set the example. We must be critical of General McChrystal for setting the most abhorrent of examples for the men and women of the U.S. Army.
