Just found it odd that you could be worried about potential military dictatorships and at the same time claim that a General's job is to do whatever his boss tells him to do.
Tell me though, since McChrystal's orders are to win the war in A-stan, why shouldn't he do so? If winning the war requires more resources, why shouldn't he make that known to the country? Why shouldn't he be vocal, insistent, and unyielding about doing what it takes to carry out his orders and winning the war?
