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."

When I left the military service, I vowed NEVER to stand in line again. I think I might just once.
Then he'd better avoid McDonalds at lunchtime,or Wal Mart at any time.
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! A man of character and integrity decided that enough was enough. True leaders make the tough decisions without worrying about politics and personal agenda's. The General put the president in his place. The president will go down in history as the most divisive and arrogant, antagonistic, president that has every served. O'bama will never garner the respect that the General has rightly earned.
