Take a look at his wife. Then consider his mistress.
"All In" is the latter's account of her experience with the general.
I assume she meant it.

Come sit down beside me I said to myself
And although it doesn't make sense
I held my own hand as a small sign of trust
And together I sat on the fence
Anon. Very anon.
"Shated" isn't a word. Maybe consult a dictionary next time to see how to spell whatever word you thought you were saying?
Nitwit.
Go figure. This was the broad.
This was his wife.
Where would you campaign?
Come sit down beside me I said to myself
And although it doesn't make sense

How 'poor judgment' felled military star Petraeus...
Petraeus, star on battlefield, felled at CIA by affair
9 Nov.`12 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - David Petraeus was a star on the battlefield, commanding the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but was undone by "poor judgment" in engaging in an extramarital affair that led to his downfall as CIA director.
Just two days after his 60th birthday, Petraeus stepped down from the spy agency where he had held the top office since September 6, 2011. "After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation," Petraeus told the shadow warriors he commanded at CIA. It was a stunning downfall for a revered military man who was seen as one of the top American leaders of his generation and was once considered a potential contender for the White House.
Petraeus was credited with pulling Iraq from the brink of all-out civil war and for battlefield successes in Afghanistan after overseeing a surge of 30,000 troops ordered by President Barack Obama in late 2009. He became known for counter-insurgency strategies that were seen as gaining ground against the Taliban in Afghanistan. "I don't think he was professionally overrated. His were genuine accomplishments," said James Carafano, a war historian with the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank.
At the time of his nomination to the CIA post, some Washington insiders had said the White House wanted to find a prominent position for Petraeus to ensure he would not be recruited by Republicans as a challenger to the 2012 Obama-Biden ticket. When he was nominated to lead the CIA there were some concerns in intelligence circles that the high-profile four-star Army general might not be able to lead from the shadows as appropriate for a spy chief.
But once he took over the head office at the U.S. spy agency, Petraeus kept a decidedly low public profile. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, expressed regret about the resignation of "one of America's best and brightest" and said it was an "enormous loss" for the country. "At CIA, Director Petraeus gave the agency leadership, stature, prestige and credibility both at home and abroad. On a personal level, I found his command of intelligence issues second to none," she said.
RESIGNATION ACCEPTED
In America, the land based on ancient religious superstitions, the rule is simple.
If you are a politician or a military hero, you can be forgiven for commiting a felony, or fraud, or gross negliigence resulting in 200 000 dead civilians. You will still receive a nice pension, and be pardoned by future fraternity brothers.
Richard Nixon, George W.Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld for examples.
If, however, you have an affair, and you are caught, you will be condemned for the rest of your earthly life, and if the Christian Old testament is true, possibly be sent to an eternal damnation of fire and brimstone.
Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
