Firing the Chief of Staff of the Army? How stupid is that?

You do realize that Casey is the Chief of the entire US Army? He said that the Army is going to investigate the incident. And they are. It would be irresponsible of him to shoot from the hip in any way that would cause a backlash against other members of the uniformed services. And I'm sure he didn't want to make our soldiers who are deployed any more vulnerable, by giving any further credence to the idea that we are at war with Muslims or Islam. He has to walk a tight rope that some half-a$$ed journalist does not have to worry about. Casey was in the Middle East, so he is well aware of the nuances.

Secondly, the Chief is prepared for these press encounters by his staff. So if he was allowed to go on, without full information, then his staff should be fired, not the Chief.

You can be sure that some Army heads are going to roll over this at the unit and battalion levels and maybe even at the Division levels. But the CSA? I don't think so.
