Et Tu, Petraeus?

Couple points. Adultery is an Art.134 offense, meaning it isn't enough just for it to happen, but that it also has to be contrary to good order and discipline or bring discredit to the armed forces. It's not (or shouldn't be enforced this way) a rule because of the moral considerations, it's to prevent the discipline problems that result if an officer is boning a sailor's wife, for example. Unfortunately, commanders have wide discretion in pursuing/not pursuing such charges, at least until it reaches the JAG level, so no one really understands what it's supposed to mean.
On the other topic--why wouldn't you just use cash advances and save the red-ass of justifying each charge. Pay for your hotel and rental car with the GTCC as required, then pull out cash for the amount of your per diem. You save potential problems, and your TAD living budget takes care of itself.

Reports are saying that Petraeus will still testify next week regarding Benghazi
The depths of Jill Kelley's delusion revealed:
"You know, I don't know if by any chance, because I'm an honorary consul general, so I have inviolability, so they should not be able to cross my property. I don't know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well," she told the 911 dispatcher Monday.
The idea that this broad gets some kind of "thanks for being our event coordinator" certificate that says "Honorary Ambassador," then tries to invoke diplomatic privilege with the authorities. Unbelievable. This woman needs to be ground up by Ralston Purina as cat food.

Don't punish the poor cats like that.

As well he should. He was "in the seat" at the time. One can only hope that the testimony requested will remain "on point". Too many slippery off-ramps to consider...none of which would be relevant to the subject of the hearings.
That delirious mentality IS definitely bad news for all involved. But asking and getting 2 Generals to write letters (on letterhead) to a judge offering support to a bonafide twisted sister in a contested child custody case is more than bizarre. The White House is eerily silent on this. I say just "standby", there is likely much more to this story that what's been revealed so far.
That's.... that's crazy

In 12 years I ran into two CO/XO types who really overstepped their bounds by jumping in (or threatening to) JOs personal lives like that.
The other was when I was a JG, and I was told by the XO that he'd destroy my career if I got divorced, because Officers don't get divorced. When I finally filed for divorce as a LT, no support from the command, and he handed her everything she wanted via a MPO.
That CO is still on my "I will not lift a finger to prevent a pack of rabid hyenas from eating you" list.

Fascists!
Heard a new conspiracy originally posited by the oddly dressed Krauthammer on the radio today:
So Petraeus has an affair and wants to keep it secret. He wants to keep it secret so he can keep his job and not be forced out. He knows to some extent that the administration knows he did it. So he is even more "encouraged" to tow the party line to keep his job. But he doesn't want to tow the party line on Benghazi, so that's when it all blows up.
Sounds plausible to someone that isn't looking too in depth on this. Guess we'll find out when Petraeus testifies.
