Petraeus doesn’t believe in our First Amendment Rights.

Are you referring to the incident involving a Florida pastor that wanted to burn a koran? My senator, Lindsey Graham, also chimed in on that one, wanted to summon the hapless cleric to Washington for a thorough brow-beating.

I always voted. I also told my troops that voting democrat was a court martial offense. Of course, this was back in 1989 and they all knew I was kidding.

I wish this guy would just go away. Sorta reminds me of Gen Clark, one of the rats military poster boys of yesteryear. Someone you don’t even want in charge of custodial operations.

Peraeus may be tainted and so forth and he may have been prosecuted disproportionately by Obama. And yes, what hillary did was far worse, but he violated the security regulations. IMO He has forfeited his opportunity to serve in high ranking positions Bolton for SOS.

I always voted and lurked here after my brother introduced me to the site in 2003. But did not join until after I retired earlier this year.

Also known as pissing on the graves of soldiers who died...
I have zero respect for a soldier who doesn’t vote on purpose.

I agree.

If you say a big bending of the rules is okay for him, what’s to say a bigger bending of the rules isn’t okay for her?

It’s the same principle.
