Top General Bars Fast Food on Afghan Bases
(CBS) In Afghanistan, the top U.S. military commander believes life is a little too comfortable for some of the men and women in uniform.
One example is a garden at headquarters, featured in CBS National Security Correspondent David Martin’s recent “60 Minutes” interview with Gen. Stanley McChrystal.
“What do you think of that garden where you can sip cappuccino under the shade?” Martin asked.
“I’d like to turn it into a rifle range,” McChrystal said.He hasn’t done that, but McChrystal is shutting down fast-food restaurants on military bases in Afghanistan - such as Burger King - and cutting back on first-run movies.
As a senior adviser to the general explained it, “This is a war zone, not an amusement park.”
FFFUUUUUUUUU!!!! There goes the morale!
