Self-promoter

Gen. McChrystal is the most energetic self-promoter since the times of Gen. Singlaub. If Harry Truman was president, he would have fired him already. But what bothers me in all those press tributes is that none of them mention the shameful reference to him in the book by Jon Krakauer, Where Men win Glory. McChrystal was at the heart of the of the Pentagon's cover-up, according to the book.
