McChrystal to Retire from US Army

June 29, 2010 Visionmp.com news service

Following his removal as the top NATO commander in Afghanistan last week, General Stanley McChrystal is likely to retire from American army, reported The Wall Street Journal on its website early today.

Army spokesman Colonel Thomas Collins said that McChrystal has not yet filed his paperwork but had informed personnel officials of his decision after 34 years of service, reports said.

He was last week relieved of command in Afghanistan over a magazine article that portrayed the general, considered an expert in counterinsurgency operations, as dismissive of senior US officials’ concerns about the ongoing war effort.

McChrystal’s resignation was accepted on Wednesday, after he met at the White House with Obama.
