    Default Trump attacks retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal for questioning president's honesty

    President Trump attacked retired four-star Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal on Tuesday for questioning his honesty and morality.

    The commander-in-chief mocked McChrystal's military credentials and derided him as a "dog," a term the president frequently uses to criticize opponents.

    McChrystal recently said that he could not work for an "immoral" person like Trump.
    The former top commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan was asked if he would accept a job in the Trump administration during an interview on ABC's "This Week" that aired Sunday.

    "I'd say no," he replied. "It's important for me to work for people I think are basically honest, who tell the truth as best they know it."

    After 34 years in the U.S. Army, McChrystal was forced to resign in 2010 by former President Barack Obama after the publication of a Rolling Stone article that quoted members of his staff criticizing the then-president's team. He later said he "accepted responsibility" for the actions of his staff, but claimed that the article didn't offer a "fair depiction" of what he said.

    Are you all sick of Trump yet?

    Did you feel the same way about General McChrystal when Obama fired him? Did you have the same outrage?

    Trump, of course, attack an honest four-star general, because Trump is a liar.

    I feel Obama had his reasons, it was not a reflection of the General, it was just a reflection that Obama has lost confidence in him.

    Obama to guarantee McChrystal a 4-star pension

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will guarantee former Afghanistan commander General Stanley McChrystal a four-star pension despite firing him last week over comments disparaging civilian leaders.

    McChrystal was sacked about a year after receiving his fourth star — half the time normally necessary to qualify for a four-star general’s retirement income of $12,475 per month, before taxes, according to Pentagon estimates based on his 34 years of service.

    Wonderful. How about you answer the question? Were you outraged when Obama fired him?

    McChrystal is a serial bitcher about his boss--potential boss.
