WASHINGTON — Yale University says it has hired retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal to teach a graduate level seminar on leadership on its New Haven, Conn., campus.

McChrystal is the former commander of the Afghanistan war. He was fired in July by President Barack Obama because of disparaging comments he and his aides made about their civilian bosses.

Yale announced Monday that McChrystal's seminar will "examine how dramatic changes in globalization have increased the complexity of modern leadership." McChrystal said in a statement accompanying the release that he was looking forward to sharing his "experiences and insights as a career military officer."

1. This is a joke, right?

Yale is a fucking joke if they are seriously hiring this lying POS to teach "leadership". Ask the Tillman family what they think of McChrystal's leadership qualities.

COVER UP/ get a fat pension & bullshit new job

2. I hope those students never stop bringing up his role in Tillman

death cover-up. Just as those students of Bush*s torture enablers should never cease to call them out on their war criminality.

5. Prof. McChrystal will share his experiences from his long career

For example, when a hugely popular volunteer gets killed by friendly fire, you can note his passing with sadness and let the ugly details just sort of spill out. But once you've taken the Gen. Stanley McChrystal Leadership Training Course™, you'll learn the proper way to handle such an unfortunate situation. Did we say "unfortunate"? With the GSMLTC™, you'll learn that there's no such thing as "unfortunate"! Only unrealized opportunities for more lies, more flag-waving, and more propaganda. And when it all falls apart, as it inevitably must? The GSMLTC™ teaches students that for the highly-placed and well-connected, there's not such thing as failure, there's only the next opportunity. So, what'll it be? Teevee analyst? Authoritative spokesman for a defense contractor? Distinguished visiting professor at one of our nation's institutions of higher learning? You name it! And all for the low, low, price of just $29,999.95! Operators are standing by.

7. The Tillman documentary comes out this Friday.

Bad timing on Yale's part.

I wonder if Bushcorp had anything to do with this.

8. Wonder if the art of rank subordination is to be included in the fine

general's lesson plan? :)
