At ease General, Pat's got your back

While President Obama wonders where all that good afterglow from just a week ago went, he no doubt will soon have to address the many fascinating (titillating for many) developments out of the ranks of his Generals these days.

With the Generals clearly finding themselves with just a little too much time on their hands it seems,  it reminds us that when it comes to war, the enlisted life seems a little less entitled than those up on Officer row.

What with the grunts on the ground doing all the heavy lifting, while their Officers fight the good fight on the email front and other less dangerous locales.

The talking point that has dominated the US media cycle for the last few days has been the announcement that CIA director General David Petraeus had resigned, caught up in an extra-marital affair that not only has brought his career to a halt, but now seems destined to spin off into any number of directions and topics.

We're not sure if this is good news for the General or not (I suspect Mrs. Petraeus isn't buying it) but someone is on the Generals' side of it all, as Pat Robertson is on board with his apparent infidelity… 

A friend in need is a friend indeed, though considering the recent observations of the televangelist, it's possible that his "help" isn't really going to resonate all that much.

Regardless, this mess is destined to carry on far into the next few months, giving folks much time to weigh in and we would like to think that the Good General will now become part of this wikipedia explanation of Pat Robertson's helpful reference to propinquity

After all, they like to remain current at the wiki, we're pretty sure this would be helpful to the popular culture reference section.
