What makes this even more lousy is that patraeus’s wife is fat and looks like a plainclothes nun, while his paramour is a trim, attractive womna who is twenty years younger than the wife. (I am not trying to be mean to patraeus’s wife. I feel very sorry for her. She’s been betrayed and humiliated.)
If he was so unhappy, he could have divorced her. Instead, he lied, and crept around like a two bit louse. He put his country at risk for being such a small minded prick. The head of the CIA was potentially able to be black mailed. Sad for the country that men like Petraeus have no integrity and are willing to put their perverted desires above the protection of this country. What’s even worse is how some here would support such acts, with hate full vengeance to a devoted wife and mother. Most likely a reflection of their own rotten soul. No wonder this country is in the state it’s in.
I too feel sorry for his wife, you do realize his wife’s connections are what jump started his successful military career? He likely married his wife because of her connections to begin with.
