November 14, 2012   Here is my brief, sure to be unpopular,
commentary on the whole Petraeus/Broadwell/Kelly/Shirtless FBI
agent circus.  First, the media has failed us by not demanding
and publishing said shirtless photos.  Second, I know a great
many military members.  Though I was never in uniform myself, I
was an Air Force brat and then an Army wife - which might even
give me a more qualified perspective on the things (stories,
sensitive information) that officers bring home with them.  Most
of the people I know that are in the military, or support the
military, or work within the military community are just like
the stereotype - brave, heroic, integrity-filled folks who
sacrifice their comfort and safety for ours.  There are bad
apples.  There are great military leaders that are shitty
people.  Cheaters, abusers, losers - just like in the 'real'
world.  Unfortunately, the military machine tends to shield
those people to whatever extent it can, in many cases.  The
military reflects the rest of the world.
