Former top US general in Afghanistan calls Trump immoral, dishonest
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
is "immoral and dishonest," says retired four-star General Stanley McChrystal, criticizing the American leader's Middle East policy.

Speaking in an interview on Sunday, McChrystal, who once led the US military forces in Afghanistan, said Trump was not telling the truth most of the time.

"Do you think he’s a liar?" the former top general was asked on the set of "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

"I don’t think he tells the truth," McChrystal responded.

"Is Trump immoral, in your view?" he was asked. "I think he is," he said.

McChrystal then praised outgoing US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis for speaking against Trump and said he would not accept any job offer from the president.
How very fortunate then, that you won’t be offered a job, General.
"It’s important for me to work with people who are basically honestly, who tell the truth as best they know," he said.

Mattis handed in his resignation letter earlier this month, shortly after Trump announced his decision to end the US military presence in Syria.

#2 Shocking! General McChristal's views appear to run somewhat counter that of the 'men' of the ranks.

#3 Just remember general officers are political animals with some military training and experience. Somewhere between the second and third star, the politics shifts from inside the institution to outside pursuits.

#5 "I don’t think he tells the truth," McChrystal responded."

McChrystal must have loved Obama who unceremoniously fired him and lied to the American people often.
