I Don't Usually Criticize Our Military Commanders, But...

...while I can see some value in doing this, I don't think it's the right decision to make. Isn't serving in Afghanistan rough enough duty already?

Most Army and Air Force Exchange Service concessions serving U.S. troops in Afghanistan will be closed within 90 days under an order issued Feb. 5 by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. commander in that war zone...

“MWR (morale, welfare, and recreation) programs across the theater should be limited in scope and tailored for an expeditionary force,” McChrystal said in his order. “MWR should never be the distracter that changes the focus of the mission.”

I wasn't aware that having a Burger King in a camp in Kabul was a distracter that was changing the focus of the mission, but then again, I haven't been there recently to find out.
