Retired Gen. David Petraeus said Monday that he doesn't "envision" returning to a government position, and said his views don't align with President Trump's on foreign affairs.

“I think there does have to be policy alignment [with Trump,] and I’m not sure that exists, I’m afraid," Petraeus said on BBC Radio 4 when asked if he'd be willing to replace James Mattis as Defense Secretary, as first reported by Time magazine.

On April 23, 2015, Petraeus pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified materials. He was given a two-year probationary period and a fine of $100,000.

He was convicted during the "scandal free" Obama administration.

Why does this even matter. He is just coming out of the weeds of his retirement to get some press time.

Foreign affairs, like perpetual war? Perpetual police actions around the world? Wasting American lives overseas when it serves no purpose?

So they do not like Trump. I know people like Trump..
They have no inhibitions on talking freely and often. They are not superficial and thus dont have a fake side to show the public like the elite do. What you get is the original..no put on. They may say things in a manner that is not filtered.. it’s from the heart and out the mouth.

Once you know this person, he’s one person you know will be honest with you and you can trust. The fake guy, you never know who he really is.

Aw, that’s a shame.

President Trump is soon going to run out of globalist Establishment 0bamanite Perfumed Prince Generals to stab him in the back.

Whatever happened to sense of duty, honor, sacrifice? Oh, that is just for the grunts.
