What were the controversial comments made by General Stanley McChrystal in Rolling Stone magazine?

General Stanley McChrystal's controversial comments in Rolling Stone magazine were published in a 2010 article titled "The Runaway General". The article portrayed McChrystal and his staff in a negative light, depicting them as arrogant and dismissive of civilian authority. Some of McChrystal's most controversial remarks included his criticism of the Obama administration, his disparaging comments about Vice President Joe Biden, and his portrayal of then Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, as an "errand boy".

The article sparked outrage and led to McChrystal's resignation from his post as commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan. He later apologized for his remarks, saying that they were "a mistake" and that he took full responsibility for them.
