Is anyone else watching MSNBC right now? General Petraeus is being grilled, or at least some members of the senate are trying their best, and he's just murdering them.

My particular favorite was when Senator Bayh (who is a total douche btw) was trying to get Petraeus to admit that Americans who want an immediate and complete withdrawl from Iraq are patriots and he responded something with, "Well, I wear the uniform so you can have that opinion."

I really, really hope Petraeus gets political after his military career. He's amazing. I know that I saw a huge change when he got in there (I was purt of the surge) and just wow.

Wish we had more military brass like him that aren't crippled by "Vietnam syndrome."

it's so easy to get that shit TBH. Even a dorkus malorkus Staff Sergeant like myself has four and half rows of ribbons (one and a half less than he has).
