One policy he has opted not to continue, however, is his predecessor's asceticism. He suggested that the fast-food restaurants McChrystal ordered closed on bases probably will reopen soon.
"With respect to Burger Kings, all options are on the table," he said.
Good. I opposed that policy when it was first made. Fast food is not a luxury--it is a tool to fight PTSD. The special forces commander did not seem to appreciate that not all his troops were A-Team killers (and I say that with all the respect and thanks in the world).
Most of the troops really would like fries with their meal. And sleep better for it.
