I'm sure McCrystal will be slotted into some kind of advisory job in the Pentagon until he has enough time to retire. Just because you announce your intention to retire, doesn't mean you are leaving right then. Plus, he probably has leave time to use up too. that will get him over the hump.

My observation is that the GO's take care of each other. I worked for a flat out crazy 2-star that had been fired by the PACOM Commander for insubordination. They let him work out of our office for a year, until he had enough time to retire as a 2-star. (He almost got fired by the Secretary of the Army during that time, but it blew over).

Then there are the GOs that retire and then come back as consultants to the Army. Not as contractors but on a special pay scale. Gen Kicklighter went from assignment to assignment that way.

Don't blame Obama. Blame the Secretary of Defense. Remember too, that McCrystal was not relieved for anything that would get him reduced in rank. Essentially, he "offered his resignation" and the President accepted it.
