@ 19 Lily: I think the modern horror that is gore and slash is bad for the unconsciousness. My dreams suffice to run me through my angst issues.
The progressive ideology of destruction of tradition seems very similar to a slasher film to me. An undiscerning person fails to discriminate.

Thank you! It’s been ages since I read sci fi. I remember s short story (but not the author’s name) about a computer that was programmed to learn everything and answer all questions.
It learned everything, got bored and disconnected itself.

The 3rd Dune book is a slog, but I’ve found it’s worth it if you can push past it. Herbert’s son has continued the story filling in the back story. Probably 20 books in total now for the entire Dune saga. Read it first when I was 9 or 10; read it every 3 or 4 years now and always get something new out of it every time.

It is clear that the Obama Administration was lying to protect the President’s re-election campaign strategy. Nothing will come of this. Yes, this is far worse than Watergate, but Obama is not only a Democrat, he is black. He is impervious to impeachment, even if the Republicans had retaken the Senate. As is, there is nothing he could do that would get him impeached short of ordering a nuclear attack on an American city. As a practical matter, Obama is bulletproof. With the media in his pocket, even collossal failures like the BP Oil spill and Sandy are non-events. I absolutely hate the media. The Media are the Enemy as assuredly as al Qaeda is.

Petraeus joins Lance Armstrong in the growing pantheon of profoundly disappointing individuals and fallen heroes. They’re still trying to polish the General as a great man who just made a “tragic lapse in judgement “. He had his time of greatness, but the tarnish is permanent in my eyes. A long term affair is far more than a “lapse”. I honor and thank him for his past service, but he should now, at the very least, just go back to the shadows. I’m no prude, but the the recasting of adultery, beginning with Clinton, as some sort of “minor failing” diminishes us all.
Petraeus was a great General, but he seems to have fallen far short as a man.

It’s a real shame that a majority of the electorate has gone over to the “free stuff” camp.

Why ? On what is this based ? The so called “surge” started about two months BEFORE he was appointed to Iraq by a Lt. Col. or Col. in Baghdad who was fed up with the ongoing civil war in Sadr City. al Sadr himself had a problem with his “army” which began to disintegrate into criminal gangs (because al Sard was short of money to pay them) and had started to attack the own people. al Sadr lost much of political support from his own people and was eager for a truce to get the support back and reorganize his “army”. Petraeus had always been more interested in his political network in Washington promoting him than that he was a brilliant general. He is an opportunist and a freerider (Iraq). Please, don’t misunderstand me: I don’t think he is stupid. He isn’t, no way. But I agree here with McChrystal (the sky is falling
) who called him more or less a coward.

I was just giving him the basic respect I would to anyone who spent their career in military service and obtained four stars on their shoulder. Beyond that, I’ll certainly not defend him -- I’ve not the expertise, or the inclination to do so. I’d like to think that I do know something about honor and fidelity and without those, all else seems somewhat banal.
@ MacDuff:
I wish I could remember where I read this so I could provide a link but -- I understand what you’re saying. However, the unsung partner is his career is his wife. She’s 50% of his career success. I had an uncle who was career Air Force and I saw first hand what it meant for my aunt. And he was just a Colonel. And one of my cousins -- same thing. She busted her ass. He retired as a 2 star

As I’ve said it’s just my opinion and means little other than I know many who feel the way I do, Enlisted and Officers.

…and she came from a family of generals going back to the 18th century.
What buffels me is, that like Petraeus more than 50 per cent of US-generals have never fought in combat before they were propomoted to Brigadier General and as generals they are pampered and not much in danger.
The most dangerous moments of Petraeus life were when he was accidentely shot in the chest in Fort Campell, Kentucky and when -- during a civilian skydiving jump -- his parachute collapsed and he broke his pelvis.
Iraq was his first combat mission. (Bosnia doesn’t count, the war in Bosnia was long over when he was there).
eaglesoars wrote:
That’s what really pisses me off, adultery isn’t a “minor flaw in an otherwise brilliant career” as they would have us believe (and I’m not just talking about Petraeus), it’s a major character failing. It’s a violation of the UCMJ for a reason. He violated the most basic commitment a man can make, the commitment to his wife. He’s not only dishonored her, but he’s dishonored all of those military wives who have made their sacrifices in obscurity. Those who defend such actions as a “lapse”, also dishonor men, such as myself, who see their commitment to their wives as the bedrock upon which all else is built.

Great Post, and that’s the gist of the problem. If he failed in his marriage, can we assume he failed in his duties and responsibilities to the men assigned under him. I know for a fact he failed them!
@ MacDuff:
HEAR!! HEAR!!
So many soldiers and officers have put their health, their future and their life at risk and many lost, that’s why I can’t see how Petraeus whose main engagement was to study/learn at ivy league universities (and he did very well) at the expense of the tax payers and to work at military camps in Europe or at home in the U.S.A. can be called a hero.
Guggi wrote:
As someone with only one hitch in the Navy I’m certainly no expert, but I think that Americans (and likely non-Americans as well) use Generals/Admirals as receptacles for their over-arching respect and gratitude for the military. They become rather mythic figures and are held up as role-models and representatives of the military, as a whole. Among their troops, they must command respect and confidence, for their very lives hang in the balance. They tend to be larger-than-life figures and with that comes an enormous responsibility -- an even larger responsibility than just commanding a massive military machine.
Generals are, necessarily, students of military history. It would seen that Petraeus and Allen would understand the more indistinct, yet no less important aspects of their positions, but, clearly, they didn’t. The role of “hero”, deserved or undeserved, isn’t just an honor, it’s a solemn responsibility., a point that both of these men, sadly, seem to have missed.
