Under the Constitution of the United States, the President is the Commander-in-Chief. General McChrystal's comments and behavior were insubordinate and undignified. If he had problems with the White House, he should have shown the class and courage to take these issues up directly with the President. President Obama's decision to fire General McChrystal is entirely justifiable and necessary. The naming of General David Petraeus to assume the role and responsibility overseeing the war in Afghanistan is a good move. General Petraeus will provide a smooth and consistent transition in leadership.
