When anyone chooses to be a public figure, their trustworthiness, by default, is judged by their actions.
I was hammered for being too stupid to count, this would not have happened 50 years ago, it would have been face to face and there would have been an ass whipping, maybe mine but that would be beside the point.
I have no argument in the political sense as it could cause security problems.
But other wise it is between Him and God, if you read the scripture that tell about the woman caught in adultery and brought to Jesus and he told them ( those with out sin first cast a stone )
This seems to put the people who are doing the hammering of Patraeus in the same place as the scribes and Pharisees and puts Patraeus in the place the woman who committed adultery was in, Jesus said nothing good about the scribes and Pharisees.
I doubt that either position is a good one to be in where our Lord is concerned, we can not be the opposite of every thing Jesus says to be and be his followers.
“How can I trust a man if his wife cannot?” - Harry Truman

The comparison between the General and the woman taken in adultery in the Gospel of John ch. 8 would work if the woman with whom the General was committing adultery was one of the principle attackers of the General, seeking his stoning.
Otherwise, using Scripture against the clear commands of Scripture is a device from the Satanic bag of tricks (Matthew ch. 4 ; Luke ch. 4), taught by liberal churches to liberal professing Christians ; a device to make sin seem less sinful.
