General McChrystal may not have been the most politically savvy person in the lot, but at least he had a sense of humor.
In the infamous Rolling Stones article that cost McChrystal his job, it was mentioned that some of his team referred to themselves as Team America… Team America being the exhaustingly hilarious movie by South Park creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, that mocks everything from American imperialism to authoritarian dictators to Matt Damon.
The Team America in the movie Team America is a group of self-important white people who who bulldoze over everyone and everything (Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids) to “save” the world.
Today, Marc Ambinder posted a picture of the patches that McChrystal’s team had made up!
I’m jealous.
Here’s my favorite scene from Team America when UN Weapons Inspector, Hans Blix, visits Kim Jong Il. Hans Blix is HILARIOUS.
