Subject: NEVER STAND IN LINE AGAIN (Gen. Stanley McChrystal U.S.Army)



Some men carry and handle their diplomacy better than others........

When former U.S. Military commander in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, was 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 him in his political role as President.
"It's not my job to support you as a politician, Mr. President, it's my job to support you as Commander-in-Chief," McChrystal replied, and he handed Obama his resignation.
Not satisfied with accepting McChrystal's resignation the President made a cheap parting shot. "I bet when I die you'll be happy to pee on my grave."
The General saluted. "Mr. President, I always told myself after leaving the Army I'd never stand in line again."

 I wonder if this is legit?  If so, I like the way this man speaks his mind.

It is a neat story but not true. There is some truth to it, he did resign. But he never shared publicly what was discussed in his meeting with the president, other than to say the conversation was very professional. Sorry, I wish it were true.
