It really doesn't seem like McChrystal was an armchair quarterback. Quite the opposite actually.

Regardless McChrystal should have kept his mouth shut. He should not have said those comments on record. If you think your boss is a fuckwad fine, but you shouldn't say it in the papers and expect to keep your job

I don't think he was refering to the General.
