Gen. McChrystal retires in military ceremony
None
After 34 years in the Army, Gen. Stanley McChrystal left behind legions of admirers and the prospect that his reputation as a ferocious fighter would one day eclipse the costly comments that appeared in Rolling Stone.
"Over the past decade, arguably no single American has inflicted more fear, more loss of freedom and more loss of life on our country's most vicious and violent enemies than Stan McChrystal," US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said during an emotional retirement ceremony Friday, marking the end of the general's career.
