From a reader:

I hope others are asking this question?
Was the substance of what the officers stated about civilian leadership accurate? Shouldn’t that be the question we are focusing on? Because if it is rampant in our officer corps you have a problem. What this article states is a basic no confidence vote in the commander in chief by the Af-Pak military leadership. I read an earlier post that McChrystal approved of the article prior to press time. I think he meant for this to come out. And from what I have seen, McChrystal apologized for the article, not about its substance.

Meanwhile, James Tobin makes some good points.

Last, am I wrong to be surprised that McChrystal has told people he voted for Obama? I thought generals were pretty reluctant to let that sort of info go.
