Should General McChrystal be fired, resign, publicly reprimanded, or reassigned?

It seems that the General may have violated at least two Articles of the UCMJ and they are -

ARTICLE 89 DISRESPECT TOWARD SUPERIOR COMMISSIONED OFFICER

Any person subject to this chapter who behaves with disrespect toward his superior commissioned officer shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

ARTICLE 133. CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN

Any commissioned officer, cadet, or midshipman who is convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

As of this answers writing President Obama has replaced Gen McChrystal with Gen Petraeus. It seems Gen McChrystal may have been forced into retirement, avoiding any court-martial.

The General spoke against his Commander in Chief. One has freedom of speech, except in the military. His remarks would be seen as aiding and abetting an enemy during the time of war. This is a treasonable offense.

As Truman did with Mac Arthur, Obama allowed the General to retain his benefits and his honor by offering the option of resigning.

"The Runaway General
Stanley McChrystal, Obama's top commander in Afghanistan, has seized control of the war by never taking his eye off the real enemy: The wimps in the White House" The first sentence from the "Rolling Stones" article.

He should be immediately fired. What he did id inexcusable.
