Mary Tillman: Stanley McChrystal's Yale Appointment 'Insulting'
The mother of Pat Tillman and filmmaker Michael Moore have something to say about Yale University's hiring of Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

Mary Tillman, whose discovery that McChrystal orchestrated the cover-up of her son's death by friendly fire in Afghanistan, is depicted in Amir Bar-Lev's documentary "The Tillman Story" tells us the Ivy League institution's hiring of the general that President Obama fired is "insulting."

Wonders what Mrs. Tillman thinks of this:

McChrystal to join Obama administration

WASHINGTON – Nearly a year after he was relieved of command in Afghanistan, retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is joining the Obama administration.

McChrystal will lead an advisory board overseeing a White House initiative supporting military families. The Joint Forces program will be led by Michelle Obama and Jill Biden. The program will focus on mobilizing communities, businesses and the government to assist the families of those serving their country.

The first lady's office says the initiative will be announced at the White House on Tuesday.

McChrystal resigned after he and his aides were quoted in a Rolling Stone article as being dismissive of their civilian bosses.

Pat must be rolling in the grave that McChrystal and the Republicon liars dug for him with their vicious, self-serving lies to all of America. Obama, WTF? I have stopped trusting you.
