Old Jarhead's Political SitRep for November 17, 2012
Robert A. Hall
General Petraeus
I heard Geraldo Rivera refer to Gen. Petraeus as “An American Napoleon.” No, he was not the Emperor, he was Marshal Peter Ney, who served the Emperor. And like Ney, will be shot. (Unless you believe the theory that Ney escaped to America and lived out his life as a school teacher in NC, for which there is some evidence.) Why any military person would accept a civilian position in the Obama administration, knowing that you will likely be sacrificed to political expediency or required to lie for it, is beyond me. Duty or ambition, I guess. I wonder if Mrs. Petraeus has been able to resist using the MoveOn.org slur, “General Betray-us.”
