McChrystal can’t show a little fucking tact and its Yon’s and the media’s fault? WTF

This is from June first from Yon:

In the absence of success, Yon believes the military ended his embed to stifle an independent voice and steer coverage to a less experienced, more docile stenographer pool of reporters. “If McChrystal is perceived to fail in Kandahar, the Taliban will just about have us in media checkmate for 2011. This can have tremendous negative consequences and the Taliban leadership fully understands that.”

He “turned” on McChrystal before the Rolling Stone article.
