Watch where you step, General…

Good morning, Netizens...

It isn't every day that a General in charge of conducting war in a far-off country is called back home to meet with the President of the United States. However, today General Stanley McChrystal is meeting nose-to-nose with President Obama, and political wags and news agencies are all predicting he is about to be canned, even though he has purportedly already written his letter of resignation.

One can only imagine the thoughts that ran through McChrystal's mind as he was flying back to the United States since yesterday.

He might as well have stepped on an IED. They would laud his name forever for sacrificing his life in war. However, for opening his mouth and openly making statements about his Command-in-Chief and various others? No, for that they might fire anyone, even a general.

Cartoonist David Horsey shows up how this might take place.
