The Art of Command
Sigh. The expected avalanche of idiocy is following in the wake of the McChrystal story. (Why do I get disappointed, after all this time?) When this broke, I made the observation that the absence of professionalism in the face of media outlets, from a top ranking General in the US Army, was extremely distressing to me.
The Stars and Stripes has been all over this story, as one might expect, and their coverage has been sane and measured. They linked to this article at CNN as an illustration of how it’s supposed to be done, and I think it’s worth a read.
