McChrystal Eating his words in lieu of a second meal

Gen. McChrystal sleeps four hours and eats one meal a day. Maybe if his mouth had been full of food from another meal, he would not have had room for his foot. What was he thinking?
Why would a well trained, experienced career General act like a child who can't predict the consequences of his actions more than 15 minutes into the future? Was he thinking, "l'll just throw caution to the wind and say what ever I feel like about the boss and Commander in Chief because I'm not getting what I want !" "To hell with military unity and strategy!" Or was he just pulling a Corporal Klinger from M*A*S*H to get out of Afghanistan? A dress may not have worked, but it was less likely to get him fired. Talk about career suicide in the military! However, I hear the taliban is hiring anyone who dislikes Obama.
Our military men and women deserve better than a four star general who puts his own needs to vent above his country and his troops.
