Whoever authorized Rolling Stone to shadow McCrystal, to spend so much time with a general who's supposed to be 100% focused on warfighting should be fired.

No one was authorized. Rollingstone sent a reporter to cover the general's speech in Paris and then the volcano ash problem happened........the reporter ending up taking a bus with the general and his staff to Berlin. That's when he got a lot of the stuff for his article.

Spend enough time with anyone and you're bound to hear them drop their guard, to let off steam by uttering inappropriate - even if true - comments about their bosses. This article turns routine office politics into a national farce.

Do you really think McCrystal dropped his guard? He's done this before......when he wanted more troops, he leaked his report to the press. I am not buying that he got too casual.......he doesn't strike me as someone undisciplined. I think he's unhappy and the war isn't going well so this was his way of showing his displeasure. He needs to be sacked.
