During WW II, Ike could have dressed in women's clothes, and walked down Picadilly Circus trying to pick up sailors, and it would not be reported. We had near complete military censorship then, in wartime...just before D-Day, during a training exercise, over 800 troops were killed, and the casualties were supressed for months..so Ike was protected 100% whatever he did.

Today, it's a totally different story..troops have email, phones..Skype..it is impossible for a GENERAL to have an affair, especially in a combat zone, without multiple people knowing about it..and Petraeus had to know that...did one let the secret out..perhaps inadvertently..?

FYI..one report says that the FBI tripped onto Braodwell when she was trying to access Petraeus' confidential emails..which is a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

BTW..she is a serving officer, a reserve Major..so, in this era of sexual equality in the military, she should be booted out...

Well, he was in London...

Of course not...Ike was a Democrat.
