LOLs. He did nothing illegal. Or wrong for that matter. The Army or anyone else could not touch him in any way.

Funny, He is against letting gays serve openly in the military. Petraus is for it.

I'm rather surprised that there weren't more extreme consequences.
He's not going to lose a star. An officer needs to stay in rank for a number of years. He won't keep the star or pay.

I tell you what. You talk about your supervisor and see what happens.

I don't care who the CIC is. He should've brought his concerns to his supervisor. Sir, I don't think ...

Nah, he wanted to talk to an open mic. Never asking the reporter, is this on or off the record.

Thanks for your service General!

Only thing he said about Obama was he wasn't ready for the intial metting he had with him.

If Obama was a man instead of an overgrown child he would have laughed this off.

What the General said was nothing.

President Obama is basing U.S. war policy on Rolling Stone magazine articles. Rolling Stone is a magazine for 20 year old drug addicts that happen to like rock and/or roll music. It would be comical if it weren't so pathetic.

If POTUS would've ignore the comment, you guys would've call him weak. Like I said, you talk about your boss...see what happens.

I don't know who "you guys" is?

And I didn't say he should have ignored the comments.

He should of laughed about them.

The fact that he fired this guy for nothing and bases his war policy on a magazine designed for druggies shows he is weak.

People are dying in Afghanistan and the POTUS makes decisions on Rolling Stone articles. Pathetic.

If Obama was a man he wouldn't have lost his job. Obama can't stand the slightest little bit of criticism. He's a weakling.

What did this guy say? Obama wasn't prepared for a meeting? LOL.s And Obama fires him for that. Pathetic.

I guess you understand the military--I don't presume to.
