as we saw from Gen. Petraus

I don't think we know that real story. It happened right around the time of Benghazi, right. The squeeze was on to make sure no information got out.

When being blackmailed, the manly thing to do is come out in the open and admit to wrongdoing. Not every man is able to do that, e.g. John Roberts.

LOL!

Obviously the answer is to supply American Women!

[Cicero]

Guaranteed those women were setups for info gathering.

Of course. And I'm sure the General knew it. But that doesn't mean he can afford to be openly rude to them, because the Russkis would play that angle, too.

[SgtHooper]

The Roosians always respect strength. The Gen would know this, and not be beholding to protocol in these or any other sorts of instances. :-)

where he insulted his Russian hosts

Did he call the Russian General a "сукин сын"?

[GeronL]

if this were NK he would have been used for cannon practice

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I agree, Tallguy. Hell, I made E-5....Barely, just barely.
