This General took an oath to uphold the US Constitution. He should have his pension and rank stripped from him for his inane remarks. Other generals have faced charges for their public remarks, why shouldn't McCrystal?
The 5.56 is not an extremely powerful round. The DOD chose that round because its effective and a soldier can carry twice the ammunition as their opposition which carry the 7.62x39. Muzzle velocity does not directly dictate how "powerful" something is. Its about bullet energy on target. Bullet weight and cartridge load does.
"In 2011, McChrystal advocated instituting a national service program in the United States. McChrystal stated, "'Service member' should not apply only to those in uniform, but to us all ... America is falling short in endeavors that occur far away from any battlefield: education, science, politics, the environment, and cultivating leadership, among others. Without a sustained focus on these foundations of our society, America’s long-term security and prosperity are at risk" Source: Wiki
223/556 is meant to wound not kill. it causes enemy soldiers to give care to the wounded causing the enemy to have to use more people recources and time than if it just kills...
Why?.... are you serious?... Listen to what he says about gun control etc. and civilians NOT having the right to combat weapons. Too many people dying from weapons?... gimme a break! What about the incredibly higher number of [children] that die from everything from skateboards and bicycles to lego blocks and Chinese sheetrock. Bottom line is the constitution mandates the right of an armed citizenry, whether he (or you) likes it or not.
+Acsfive Pall You are missing some words there brother. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." It never says everyone can have weapons it says A WELL REGULATED MILITIA should have weapons in order to protect the people.
+Acsfive Pall Next... What are you talking about; the high number of children dying from skateboarding?!? LOL! Those are ACCIDENTS! There is a huge difference between a kid dying from an accident and a kid dying from the deliberate actions of another person. Come on, you should have thought about that one a little better.
He never mentioned "Ban". So i'm assuming he dosn't mind whatever anyone wants to own, civilians and soldiers alike. Just what certain people (clinically insane people) shouldn't own.
thou shall not infringed!!!

When you sir no longer uphold the oath you took to the Constitution , then I no long have any respect for you.

5.56mm is the less lethal rifle round, so casualty statistics during war remain low during initial counts. Propaganda

Stop worrying about Your Past Amendments and Change Direction for the Future for Your Children...
what a moonbat!
Ya I have a bolt action .204 and 22-250 that touch 4000 fps at the muzzle. I would never hunt any large game with them.
Where's his Redcoat at???
No way he is just a damn gun grabber .
McChrystal is an old fool who needs to reread the Constitution.
What? Why? LOL!

Another thought: military officers take an oath to support defend and protect the constitution, not to repudiate and reject it.
