And by the by when one knowingly compromises his security clearance it is NO LONGER just between he and his wife.
For the record when my uncle flew planes for SAC he had the highest security clearance around. His wife decided that she would find solace in a bottle. That nearly cost him his commission. It was a hard decision for him but because she would not get help and sober up he left her. Fortunately after a number of years he found a truly lovely woman that he married and she was a real gem. His first wife died an ugly ugly alcoholic death. Was that between he and his wife? Not hardly her behavior had put his security clearance at risk ( as well as this nation). Petraeus is so much worse than that
I see your point.
But I don’t believe he would ever betray his country.
