McChrystal''', USA (born August 14, 1954) is a retired 4-star American general and former current Commander for International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander for U.S. forces in [[Afghanistan]].  Appointed in June 2009, McChrystal was recalled by President [[Obama]] after the ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine published slightly unflattering comments by McChrystal about Obama. McChrystal then resigned, probably at Obama's insistence.

His report to Washington of Aug. 30, 2009, set the parameters for the American debate on the [[Afghanistan War]].  He warned of failure unless his forces are greatly enlarged, and are more focused on protecting the civilian population.  He considers the civilian government of Afghanistan a hindrance more than a help.
