Doesn't this about sum it up ?

President Barack Obama ousted General Stanley McChrystal as the top US commander in Afghanistan on today, saying that his scathing published remarks about administration officials undermine civilian control of the military and erode the needed trust on the president's war team.

The Americans & British have been in Afghanistan for 9 years now, to the Americans this is getting to be a case of Deja vu from 45 years back & there are still enough people who remember what the interference of politicians did to the cause of the American Military once more the evening news is filled with body bags & firefights.

Politicians have caused the situation in the first instance, they should be kept out & the Military should be left to do & finish the Politicians screw ups, without further hindrance from people in offices who've never had to put their miserable lives on the line for their Countries edicts.
