Afghan Occupation Loser McChrystal to Teach Yalies About 'Coping With Failure'

[bigtree]

(Sept. 3) -- Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal isn't heading up military operations in Afghanistan anymore, but he appears ready to take the classroom by storm.

The syllabus is out for his fall leadership course at Yale, where the former four-star general will school graduate students on the intricacies of "coping with failure," "navigating politics" and "the effect of modern media."

Eric Robinson, a Yale graduate student and research assistant for "Leadership in Operation," sent out the syllabus to enrolled students, and the Yale Daily News got a copy. According to the newspaper, the course includes a lecture titled "Loyalty, Trust and Relationships," and another called "The Leader -- the Personal Impact of Responsibility, Notoriety and Other Realities."

Robinson declined to comment, but the Yale Daily News confirmed to AOL News today that the awkwardly appropriate course description is the real deal. A look at some of the lesson plans from the former commander.
