Ever since CIA Director David H. Petraeus resigned, one question has risen above all others: Why? Yes, he had an affair with a woman 20 years his junior (quite the mentor), but hey, there was once a top federal official who had sex with an intern his daughters age right in the White House Oval Office, but he didn't step down. So, why the retired general?
There's an easy answer: Mr. Petraeus is a man of honor, even with his rather sizaeable transgression, and he felt he could no longer lead a team of men who put their lives on the line for America every day. Even though the West Point graduate has devoted his entire life to serving the U.S. - from an infantry officer to commander of he 101st Airborne Division to a four star general in charge of Central Command and the surges in Iraq and Afghanistan - he could see no way forward with his integrity compromised.
