It adds new meaning to being embedded
God only knows what David Petraeus and John Allen were doing with Paula Broadwell and Jill Kelley, but it smacks of bad frat boy behavior at a fourth tier college in the 60s. David left the United States Army as a four-star General and he resigned his CIA Director post as a first-class jerk. Paula apparently left the juicy parts out of her Petraeus biography, but managed to title it “All In.” (Some of these “jerk” entries almost write themselves.) As for Marine Corps General Allen and Jill Kelley – if it wasn’t for their bad luck, they would have no luck at all. Kicked to the weeds are the Broadwell and Kelley spouses – both doctors. If only they could summon a cure for hubris.
Fair enough on Patraeus. Those who ride high fall hard. However, the jury is still out on Allen.
The jury is out for anything sinister, but his large body of email work still qualifies him as a jerk. Is this what the military calls collateral damage?
