McChrystal is the new MacArthur?

So what's going to happen to GEN McChrystal?

General Stanley McChrystal will go into the White House as possibly the most important soldier in the world.
It's not certain he will emerge with any job at all.

That about sums it up.

So is this a MacArthur moment? Even if McChrystal walks, I don't think so. MacArthur was trying to expand the Korean War into China, deliberately defying the chosen policy of his commander in chief.


MacArthur was also a genuine war hero who forced the surrender of Japan and had rescued the Korean War from the brink of disaster.

The US Navy would disagree with the statement about Japan
