Fire his ass now! Nice talk about the French
The French have been fighting and dying w/ us in Afghanistan since 2001


“I’d rather have my ass kicked by a roomful of people than go out to this dinner,”McChrystal says.

He pauses a beat.“Unfortunately,” he adds, “no one inthis room could do it.”With that, he’s out the door.

“Who’s he going to dinner with?” I ask one of his aides.

“Some French minister,” the aide tells me. “It’s fucking gay.

1. I bet we could find a room of people to kick his ass if that's what he wants.

2. I just read the article .... the man has a high opinion of himself
I know that the quote was from an aide but it goes to the culture he has created
around him (McChrystal).
