A republic on the way to the empire?

THE GENERAL AND THE ...

The boss of the troops of the USA in Afghanistan, general Stanley McChrystal, it was summoned with urgency to the White House after the popularization of their critics to the American President, Barack Obama, and other high employees of the government of the country.

In the article, that should come to public on Friday in the next number of the American edition of the magazine "Rolling Stone", the general and their auxiliaries criticize, sometimes of humorous form, Obama and his team. As different sources that had access to passages of the article of McChrystal, does the general make humorous comments on the American vice-president, Joe Biden - "Who is this? "-, and on the special correspondent of the USA for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke.

The public conflict among soldiers and civil authorities are a proof of the political degeneration of the USA. The insubordination of the general is evident (Obama is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces and his hierarchical authority is unanswerable for any American soldier), the passivity of Obama is also undeniable (with base in the USA Constitution Obama should already have removed the general of his command and the send he for the reservation, as it was done with MacArthur during the War of Korea).

In a democracy who gives orders to the soldiers it is the elect President. In a military dictatorship all are submitted to the military ones. In an Empire the emperor is chosen by the troops not for the people.

Who orders in the fucking American soldiers now Obama? The own military ones or the elect President?
