Technically, McCrystal resigned and Obama accepted without hesitation.
In my opinion, McCrystal should not be doing interviews with entertainment magazines during wartime. Every engagement with the media needs to have the unity of message necessary for a cohesive chain of command. This is what gives the grunts the confidence they need in their leadership - that they aren't wasting their time or lives for a bunch of knuckleheads.
The contents of this article showed a disturbing lack of discipline. Even though I feel everything his staff said is true and Obama doesn't have a clue how to be commander-in-chief, that's what they signed up for. For them to undermine their commander-and-chief in public is wrong.
Having said that, McCrystal will now write a tell-all book, make millions, and be a hero to Republicans for further exposing the administration's flawed foreign policy.
