Petraeus: Inside the Mind of a Modern Warrior

Don't let the hype fool you. From a veterans stand point. There are no more "Generals". Not since the likes of Patton or McAuthur. What exists now are politicians in uniform. They play the game to advance in the political arena just as he has done. It's never been about the troops, just the next piece of shinny tin on their shoulders or next appointed position.

Inside the mind of a clueless yes man!

Ok this General did what he was supposed to do, a warrior or not. All of us
soldiers are told to do something and we do it, if we are considered good
soldiers.
As far as Afganastan goes, it is just like Irag, we did not win or will win
the war. All we did was kill a lot of the enemy so there are less of them.
Don't think for a minute because we have left Irag, it is now a democratic
country, because it is not, and when we leave Afaganistan, it will continue
to be the country it is today, a mess. Now that we have tested all of our
new war equipment and see how it works, we can go home now.

I do not envy my military leaders, we have had many years of war now. I am sure that they all have seen so much death and loss of our most precious in those lands. I am sure they must sit at times where no ones sees.... and cry. The stress and the responsibilities ... most of us will never comprehend.

You can't be your kids Parent and their friend too. That does not work.

To reach the rank of general or admiral a person must first be a great pollitician. After that their skills are considered on a limited basis.

"You know, he doesn't take casualties very easily." She says. "One thing I got to observe when I was in Afghanistan is just how difficult it is for him and other commanders to deal with."with the bad news on a constant basis."

This is the biggest laugh by American terrorists yet.

Petraeus is nothing but another corporate republican terrorist that should be in the same cell as Bush and his axis of evil.
I wonder how big his payoffs are from the energy pigs.

Did I ask for that commercial? What is with this stuff?

F......... With a 4n star General,.............and you will probably loose. Just sayin......

Betray-US is looking forward to his next career move as internment camp director for US citizens.

The greatest Gen's are in the Marine Corps right now. Most Marines will agree with when I say that Mattis is one of the greatest Gen. What he did for 1st MAR DIV in Iraq will live forever in our memories. He is a beast and old school.

So where does he stand with the navy seals talking so much about ts secrets hwo thing are done/??

so many dumb people on here , so critical of a great soldier that has served his country well. served as ground soldier in Vietnam and Korea , came up through the ranks , was shot and nearly killed , came back and contined his career , it is people like him that are hard to come by and his boots will be hard to fill , Some people have no respect for anybody that has different beliefs other than thier own.

Brainwashing does not work ask China

America meets the world? Axis of evil? Hmm, what a great brainwashing machine. Still don't see who is the evil here? It is good...

Have any reviewed his credentials? West Point graduate, PhD. from Princeton and fellowship at Georgetown. He's no idiot and he may be a politician, but his credentials speak highly of a very intelligent, driven and tenacious individual. I don't know his political views, but I feel confident that he is at least thinking deeply while in his roles.

this sounds like women talking about men

spend money on creating jobs not war

When asked by the media if the U.S. could win this war and whether he believed weapons of mass destruction existed, he answered, "I am of conviction." Look at what has happened between then and now. He's just another puppet for the right job.
