Army Reserve revokes promotion of Petraeus' one-time mistress

9. I don't see it that way. I've made commitments and I keep them. It's a personal matter.

Infidelity in the military (dating back to the beginning of militaries) is pretty rampant. I've got a MAJOR problem with military rape, but consentual is fine. If there's a SO infidelity matter, the offender and SO need to work that out in whatever manner "works out". Blackmail is easy even without proof - you just need an allegation. I don't think that's the business of employers, including the military. We're only barely squeeking past the openly gay gate. Women were just recently allowed on the front lines. The military has a long way to go to achieve equality, and US businesses aren't even close.

On another note, private businesses are far behind even the military on such issues. "Conduct unbecoming" also means lying about intelligence to start a war. That didn't stop us from sending our troops to their deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan, Viet Nam, and Cambodia (among other places). Sexual conduct has nothing to do with it. Indescriminant bombing of children is far more of "misconduct" in my mind.
