I guess it’s OK if you’re a darling of the Military Industrial Complex too.
Or if there’s the slightest possibility that you might be running for Higher Office some day.
If this bozo was a buck private, he’d “vanish” into Leavenworth, and they wouldn’t let him out until he forgets his own name.
I suppose It’s OK if you have Rank, too
And as for this guy saying he doesn’t want public office?
There has only been one General who said that and meant it:
William T. Sherman.

“In court papers, prosecutors recommended two years of probation and a $40,000 fine.” They really went after him! Why you’d think he put operatives in danger. But it was just PR operatives.

“Judge David Kessler increased the fine to ‘reflect seriousness of the offense.’” Thanks, Judge! He’ll never do that again (you chicken shit)!

“As part of his deal, Petraeus agreed not to contest the set of facts laid out by the government.” They gave him a gift. Why would he contest it?

“Prosecutors said … Petraeus had signed a form falsely attesting he had no classified material. He also lied to FBI agents by denying he supplied the information to Broadwell, according to court documents.”

Now, if he had told the truth, like Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, Jeffrey Sterling and John Kiriakou, and done it for the benefit of US citizens instead his own ego, they would have thrown the book at him.

“a period when the war began to turn in favor of the U.S.”

Was that before or after they created the chaos that allowed the so-called Islamic State to take over?
