Linda Chavez: McChrystal is no loss for conservatives

Conservatives should shed no tears over Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s forced resignation as U.S. commander in Afghanistan this week. The man may have been a brilliant military strategist – and is certainly a fine patriot – but he exercised exceedingly poor judgment, which began long before he agreed to a Rolling Stone profile that got him fired.

What’s more, he squandered the chance to make a forceful case that the political calculus governing the Obama administration’s Afghanistan policy endangers American lives and makes success less likely.
