Even Generals have a limit to what they can take from a stupid boss

Even Generals have a limit to what they can take from a stupid boss.When Former top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan Stanley McChrystal got 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 Obama in his political role as President. "Its not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, its my job to support you as Commander-in-Chief," McChrystal replied. Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation, the President made a cheap parting shot : "I bet when I die you'll be happy to piss on my grave. "The General saluted. "Mr. President, I always told myself after leaving the Army I'd never stand in line again."

Highly unlikely...sounds apocryphal.

I'd love a source. Even if it is fictitious there is a large part of the military that do not like or respect the MAN. They respect the office but not the man.

Lol sounds like something he might say

Also think it's "unlikely", but betting it's McChrystal's sentiments. It's also hilarious.

Even if this never really happened I would bet that most if not all of the military think just this way about obummer!!! I do know that the military respects the office of the President. I believe that they think of obummer just like I do. He may have been elected to the office but he is not a President. I have no respect for obummer and will never put his name with President or will I ever capitalize him name ever.
