I am not big on conspiracy stories either, I prefer to work with what we know. I think this is a sad story and I think it is in some ways reflective of us as a nation... Our military is a lot like business today, do the same amount of work or more with less people. General Petraeus has been our go to guy and has done great things for our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. Like many in our military he has served multiple tours , time after time in the wars we have fought for the last 12 years. Do more with less....I read were has spent most of the last 10 years away from his wife, serving our country. Do not get me wrong , what he did is very wrong but understandable, not sure if it is forgivable, only his wife can determine that.. He spent 10 years away from home and shared meaningful time with an attractive someone other than his wife, kinda like rubbing sticks together, eventually there is a spark...and then fire. I think there is a lesson in this for all of us if we are willing to look..
