A veteran of four U.S. wars in the Middle East, McChrystal was a four-star general best known for his command of Joint Special Operations Command from 2003-08, when he oversaw special operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan. His troops were responsible for both the capture of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and the 2006 death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

At present, ATF is the tip of my spear, with FBI and DEA operating in a policing re intelligence manner.
Great talk. Not quite correct on Washington. "Washington wrote his will several months before his death in December 1799. In the document, Washington left directions for the eventual emancipation of enslaved people he owned after the passing of Martha Washington. Of the 317 enslaved people at Mount Vernon in 1799, 123 of the individuals were owned by George Washington and were eligible to be freed as per the terms of the will.
By law, neither George nor Martha Washington could free the people owned by the Custis estate. Upon Martha Washington’s death in 1802, these individuals were divided among the Custis grandchildren. By 1799, 153 of the people enslaved at Mount Vernon were part of this dower property.
In accordance with state law, George Washington stipulated in his will that elderly enslaved people or those who were too sick to work were to be supported by his estate in perpetuity. In December 1800, Martha Washington signed a deed of manumission for her deceased husband's enslaved people, a transaction that is recorded in the Fairfax County, Virginia, Court Records. They would finally be emancipated on January 1, 1801."
The fact that people were exchanged and treated like a piece of equipment in the first place is the real issue. But I appericate the historical clarification.
If you would like I could give you historical clarification on slavery throughout the history of mankind...from the beginning of the human race right up to the present moment. Who initially sold the slaves and their ancestors that Washington "treated like a peace of equipment"? Their fellow Africans who captured them and sold them...at least the ones they didn't keep for themselves....of course. Who is worse, the buyer or the seller? And those captured and sold would have likely done the same to members of another tribe given the opportunity. You must be careful judging historical figures and their actions by the standards of our current culture. Our descendants will likely look back on us with disdain for our barbaric actions that at present we don't even recognize.@@shuheihisagi6689
