We are left with chaos. From the Confucian Book of Odes:
"Disorder is not sent down by heaven; it is produced by women."
Or, they may exactly as they appear. Petreus would never do something like that right ? DUH !
SATAN
Or maybe it is something more nefarious....who is this woman? where do her loyalties lie? Why should I think that she is a loyal American????
Lebanon!
Glad to know it was’nt during her wild married years. Lots of beads . LOL
Thjat’s crap. Not everyone engages in extra marital affairs. Not everyone is duplicitous and deceitful. This acceptance if behavior that is deadly to the moral strength of our country makes me angry. The meme that ‘well everyone does it. boys will be boys. etc etc’
Really??? Is that how low your own personal standards are???? I dont care if boys will be boys....we need MEN to lead our nation. Everyone does it??? Well then go shoot dope and drink yourself to death cause everyone is doing that too.
I am SICK of hearing this justification for unacceptable behavior.
Petraeus’s friends supposedly are saying he sees NO REASON that he should testify. IF that is true then a pox on them all. The man is a coward and treasonous. End of story
Of course not everyone does that, just as not all people are alike. It does happen and has been happening since there were people. We may have all been created the same physically, but certainly not morally.
My personal standards are my own, as are yours. Why would you think all people have or should have the same standards?
I bet it was the democrat half that attended too.
If God knew this about women, why did He make them that way?
Interestingly enough when this nation actually was a God fearing nation, we culturally had a standard that was pretty darned close to our own personal standards.
if your standard is that you can lie and cheat and break your marriage ows and then pretend it really isn’t important....I am not interested in having you do much or be much of a leader in any realm. To think that putting morally compromised people into positions of power is a good thing leads to people like Billy Jeff Clinton and Barack Obama and pretty much every one in Congress. We probably should just put the Mafia in charge because at least there is honor among thieves.
Lord help us all. This nation has devolved to the gutter
God gave us free will. It goes back to Adam & Eve.
You are the one who decides the choices you make.
Yet God knows your choices before you do, right?
And over the course of his lengthy military career he would have enforced the UCMJ against underlings who engaged in adulterous behavior.
He's like a dirty cop who arrests people for crimes of which he is also guilty. He's the worst kind of hypocrite.
It's bad enough that he betrays his wife and family and his wedding vows, but he's also betrayed his country by opening the door to security breaches, and this is now a MAJOR distraction from the issues that are important to the nation (e.g. what REALLY happened in Libya).
. . . Benghazi, Libya? . . . Anyone? Hello? . . . . . . . Hello? . . . . . Benghazi, Libya? . . . . BENGHAZI, LIBYA . .
Whoops! Look at that squirrel over there!! Look at that shiny object up there!! . . . .
Well said. You are spot on
According to a retired admiral, James Lyons, the military command has been politicized ever since Goldwater- ? (I can’t recall the other name on the bill). He is disgusted with what is going on now with the top commanders.
You watch way to much TV. What are they up to now 90% of the character actors have affairs and 70% are homosexuals?
Just turn it off
