Petraeus no longer deserves any respect or attention.
he is only speaking up now in a lame attemtp to help his own legacy.
he was content to let the CIA stay under the bus until now.

First off, Petraeus may not look like the terminator, but I can assure you, in the Army he was viewed as a tough guy. I believe he’s an Infantry Officer. What was his class rank at West Point? If he was ranked high and went Infantry, then he wanted to be seen as a fighter. He has the Ranger Tab which means he went to Ranger School. That’s no school for wimps. He was a runner and apparently a good one. For the past 30 years, the Army has viewed physical toughness as the ability to run a fast pace for long distances. Petraeus may not look like Rocky, but he had the right badges and his physique made him a good long distance runner. For the Army of the past 30 years, he had the perfect physique.

I don’t know. The e-mails I’ve read about from Broadwell don’t look like real green-eyed monster stuff. Could just as easily be viewed as e-mails from a friend and not a jealous lover.
The FBI Agent’s picture is really a big nothing. He didn’t send it to just Kelley and I can see the humor in it. He’s shooting at targets that look like him. If he had a hat and shirt on for the photo, no one could have seen the irony.
What I find curious is the attempt by the government to immediately portray Kelley and Humphries in a negative light. Why didn’t the government just keep its big yap shut?

What a stretch. Put down the Shakespeare before you tear a muscle! FGS, that’s the worst pile of analogy I’ve read this year.

Of Arms and the Man is not Shakespeare. It is Virgil.

Let me know if the rest of the story is worth reading, or also clueless...
