It really doesn't matter. He is a military officer.
He exhibited conduct unbecoming a gentleman and an officer.
He put himself in a compromising situation that could have
had serious consequences considering his level of security
clearence.
He knew better and now has to deal with the consequences.

The Romans were remarkably successful in military matters. I don't think they
cared about the personal lives of their military leaders ... they cared if they
were good at military matters.
Wellington announced 'publish and be damned' to an alleged mistress.
Why does the US have a hypocritical, pseudo-puritanical view over the personal
lives of (some) public figures?
J Edgar Hoover is alleged to have been a secret cross-dresser and of
disseminating secret phone recordings to influence politicians. The first is
irrelevant except as a comment on his double standards (could he be trusted?),
the second was quite reprehensible and he should have been dismissed.
Kennedy ... and then there were the mood-altering drugs ...
If Petraeus is good then the US needs him. The country has just lost two wars
... (although the second isn't finished).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| According to one source in the linked Greenwald essay, the "threatening" e-mails
were more on the order of "Who do you think you are, hussy?" That merits
an FBI investigation???! My BS-meter is pegged out. Incredible and very
disturbing. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
