He knew there would be fallout. He probably thought this was the best choice with the most effect. It's hard to expect him to fight for a boss he feels doesn't have his back and prefers 10 min photo ops rather than discussion especially when it deals with the needs of deployed troops under his command and responsibility. Obama is all show and the General is all go. The two were never going to see eye to eye.
