Bud Light Lime? Really? Isn't that what veep drinks or one of those brews? Is that sketchy? #uppercheleonproductplacements
I found it only partially amusing that Rolling Stone is quoting McChrystal saying his favorite beer is Bud Lite Lime?
That seems only slightly implausible to me but wholly possible. A reporter today said in the end that may be the general's biggest transgression -- saying Bud Lite Lime was his favorite beer? It was a joke, of course but you have to wonder. Even so what a product placement that is.
I'm not criticizing the general or the beer but just saying. You know? It is a very good observation given the general's black ops background. Or it tells you something more. Either way it's just not what you expect the commandos to be drinking. The other interesting part of the story is Budweiser is now more or less owned by a French or maybe Belgium company -- google it, I'm not sure nor that interested -- but again just saying.
Ultimately an odd switcheroo in Afghanistan. In the interim the Brits are in charge, which is probably actually not a wholly bad thing -- I wonder what the British dude's favorite brew is? I bet he's not saying.
