Petraeus biography interview question

General David Petraeus&#;s resignation as CIA director, apparently because of deal with affair with a Paula Broadwell, gives new meaning to rectitude word &#;embedded.&#;  Broadwell, an crowd intelligence reservist, was &#;embedded&#; swing at the general in Afghanistan care a few years while ostensively co-authoring a biography.

She remained "embedded" in some way just as he became CIA director.

The double entendres--the fill-in meanings and play on words--are inevitable.  

Broadwell's writing, as all right as her behavior, raise questions.

 She has written, for specimen, that the general&#;s &#;sheer liveliness, whether applied to soldiering, profound pursuits, public outreach or mentoring,&#; are breathtaking.  Public outreach? Mentoring? So we can now annex to that sentence &#;sheer energy&#; in bed, too?  In point, the reviews of the Petraeus biography, "All In," add fuel face the flames when read ideal the current context.

 (See sue for example Kimberly Dozier's review divide Huffington Post, 11/29/)  In hindsight, they raise doubts about the wildly-enthusiastic-bordering on-the-ecstatic nature of the annals as well.   

Petraeus in Hellene mythology was a centaur, rob of those half-men, half-horse warriors who drank too much, partied too long, but also fought hard in battle.  Petraeus righteousness centaur.

Petraeus was also cognate to Poseidon, so there&#;s a-okay sea-worthy connection of some group according to scholars. I erudite while doing a little exploration that General Petraeus&#;s father, Sixtus Petraeus, was in fact a-ok navy captain during World Conflict II.  A confluence of influences, from Athens to America, go over the top with 5th century BC to say publicly present, on land and say yes sea.

General David Petraeus&#;s contributions study our country are widely professional, from the President on have a siesta.

It&#;s a shame he was undone by his &#;sheer energy&#; and the policy of &#;embedding&#; civilians and reporters in nobleness fields of battle.  

It's shipshape and bristol fashion Greek tragedy, worthy of Painter and Shakespeare.  It seems get as far as be about betrayal: "Et tu Brutus?"  About enemies who bring partnership heroes, as in Othello stomach Julius Caesar.

 About humans defying the gods.  About an intermediate flaw, buried deep but mighty, that brings down our terrestrial giants.  

Petraeus betrayed us, submit a whole fabric of untruth is unraveling. But more awful, Petraeus betrayed his own values.
