P.S. I wouldn't trust the guy anyway, and I never liked him. Any career military officer who goes on to a civilian role in appointed positions in an administration strikes me as a complete hack and a life-long government employee whose #1 priority is living at the expense of the U.S. taxpayers.

The last guy who followed this career path from high-profile general to Beltway hack was Colin Powell. I rest my case.

When Petraeus was in Afghanistan he decided that the troops should get out of their armored vehicles and interact with the populace more. You know, the old hearts and minds crap? The result was a dramatic increase in injuries, legs and testicles blown off, due to IEDs. When he saw that Afghanistan was not going well, he turned the mess over to somebody else and came home as the conquering hero. He has always been a self-promoting tool.

I disagree. Having been career military, I know of many fine retired military who stay on in the government because they still have the desire to serve our nation.
