Petraeus is supposed to be an officer and a gentleman. A gentleman doesn't write compromising things in a letter, in print, or on his e-mail.
As for the "ladies" they are supposed to pay their debts, not defraud credit card companies, the IRs, and those who donate to phoney "charities" they set up.
Hitler and Stalin were both religious. Hitler was a Catholic and Stalin a seminarian, who at the end of his life, his guards revealed, spent about an hour a day in prayer. This shows that being a good or bad leader has nothing to do with religion -- as both Dante and Machiavelli stressed.
This is the oath they swear. But it says nothing about carpet bombing, napalm, agent orange and torture.
Touche'.

These are people who routinely defraud their creditors and as such are not regarded kindly in Calvinist countries such as ours.
