I respectfully disagree that he needed to resign. Sure he might be held to a higher standard but infidelity is only an immoral law and he broke no laws, no national security was breached nor was anyone hurt in which he supervised. He followed all protocols and came to a conclusion that he would be guilty either by a court of law or in the court of society. Its time we change that law and or its jurors thoughts.

I truly think this country is way too preoccupied with sex and its belief that it is an evil act. This could not be further from the truth. Albeit an extra marital affair may be immoral in this case it did not impede his job at hand, in fact he was probably the best at it in several decades.

Let's face it people have sex and sometimes its not in the best of situations. Its time we accept that fact and accept the fact that some people are immoral or as the Rabbi writes, forgiveable! What if we apply this standard to everyone? Congress would be near empty, pro sports teams wouldn't field enough players and unemployment rates would soar to perhaps above 50%. And using the logic of an affair, I question why isn't all sex criminalized in this fashion including sex with your spouse?

It's high time we accept sexuality and not repress it

Bob lets let the facts come out......I agree with the sex part but there is obviously more to this than sex.

This man was the king of spooks and a relationship like that can be very undermining for a guy in his position.

thoughs of you that voted for obama are fools if you think that he did not know about fast a ferious bengazi and this befor the election and i would be willing to look obama in the face and call him a liar .i hope you are all proud of yourselves obama a worthless person just threw a decorated 4 star general under the bus

Those stars and bars were earned honorably over a life time of service. The job he held was only due to his outstanding service to his country. Ret. General Petraeus did the only thing men of honor do…
