Conversely, now that he's out if the gloves will come of about Pat Tillman (not saying they should, but I suspect that political realpolitik kept the gloves on for many people).

The problem with him being vocal is that McChrystal, at least in what was published, does not appear to actually have policy disagreements with Obama. Just personal issues. There's a big difference in how it should be handled between him saying "I think Obama's a dildo" vs. "I think Obama is pursuing the wrong strategy."

And this is not remotely analogous to Truman/McArthur (or even Bush/Fallon) so I wish people'd stop mentioning it.
