Casey Chalk, the author, comes off as incompetent, completely self-absorbed, lacking in humility, and a jerk.

It is far more important to him to further the Progressive Project, than any allegiance to the United States or the Constitution.

Interesting perspective. I’m of the impression that U.S. military culture hasn’t been culturally relevant in decades. Its demise began in Vietnam and was complete when the military became nothing more than a mercenary force for globalists and Islamic royal families.

The ‘culture’ only knows what Hollywood shows them and ONLY the WAY Hollywood shows it.

I agree with the Betray-Us image.

It has never ceased to amaze me, in the human experience be it sex drive, loneliness, lack of discipline, how men mostly, powerful men use their position to attach themselves to women. I often wonder if I were not married would i have sucombed to the temptations.

I saw that as i moved up through management. One of my bosses even commented on it, why do managers “prey” on lower level women.

The answer is some cases was they were in love, in others in lust, in others mid-life crises and sometimes loneliness.

Whatever they do wrong, these people are human and some cannot avoid the human feelings inside of them. Even at the cost of their reputations.

It’s a pity, but it is understandable.

"...why I would be so willing to embarrass a man under whom I had once served."

No matter what one thinks about Petreaus, this makes the author look small and petty.

In the early 70's we were told not to wear our uniforms off base and to fly commercial in civilian clothes. Many in the barracks bought wigs to hide their regulation cut. When you went home on leave, you told everyone that you "Worked for the government" at risk of being spit on or verbally trashed if you told them you were in the USAF. Then, you were a SAC trained killer.

I served because it was my duty as an American. We suffered for that physically and got a bonus dose of crap from those who stayed at home...or ran to Canada...protected by their social status and their politics. They got pardoned, we got PTSD.

Don't tell me now that the military is politicized when the whole culture is defined by the lefties that hated us then and have been in charge so long their attitude is mainstream now and unfortunately, long ago, crossed party lines. They have proven goebbels right, their lies repeated often enough, have become the truth.

If this chump of a writer wants to look for someone dishonorable, he should try looking in the mirror:

While we were working our rear ends off enabling him and his staff to make decisions to further our nation’s strategic objectives and save American lives on the battlefield, he was sleeping with his biographer, U.S. Army reservist Paula Broadwell. Apparently during or after that fling, Broadwell got access to classified documents from Petraeus, or, as we began calling him, “General Betray-us.”

The "General Betray Us" moniker had nothing to do with the 2012 revelation of the Broadwell affair. It was started by MoveOn.org in a 2007 ad campaign in opposition to Petraeus' support for the surge in written documents he submitted to Congress. They called a general "Betray Us" because he didn't want to tuck tail and run.

Rather ironic that an author who professes that "honor" is so important to him would so blithely lie about the origin of the term.

I just finished reading a two volume history of The Mexican American War.

My biggest takeaway is that people haven’t changed much in 170 years.

People are just bags of emotions walking around.

I have been a businessman, a Soldier and a teacher.

I much prefer the company of Soldiers and Veterans.

I think the more proper term is “warriors”.

I prefer the company of warriors.

That leaves out a lot of people who just wore uniforms.

This author and reporter especially come across as a incompetent writer who is pushing the Progressive/Socialist propaganda.

Obama sicked his intelligence community lapdogs on Gen. Petraeus (sp) just like he did Gen. Flynn. It was found not guilty of giving his Biographer classified papers because the Pentagon had already approved his actions and also NOT lying to the FBI just like Gen. Flynn!

But he was forced to resign from the Army in disgrace just like gen. Flynn before he could prove his innocence!

Why did Obama go after him - could it be that he was afraid he would do in Afghanistan what he did in Iraq? Also I remember there was talk of running him on the Republican ticket for President at the time and that by destroying him with a scandal that would take time to disprove!

I have a good friend who served in the 82nd AB in Iraq & Afghanistan and served under him both times and made the comment that we are all just humans i.e. Gen. Eisenhower, Patton and others had their war time romances but that did not make there ability to command there troops or there Armies to victory any different.

we are all sinners saved by the Grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord & Savior!
