  1. After reading the article I was upset at how this General lacked the respect a man needs in his position. He needs to grow up, at least he is facing up to it, but there is no excuse in my opinion to treat the sitting President of the United States that way regardless if you agree or disagree with him. If you disagree, talk to him and explain your side and try to work it out as two grown men.

  2. Mom,

    I agree, regardless of personal feelings the General handled the interview with Rolling Stones magazine very unprofessionally and I believe the President was right to take action. There are better ways to handle these situations then being crude.
