I don't understand why he should resign over an affair. I imagine Obama wanted him gone and accepted a resignation Patreus offered out of courtesy.

I heard it on the radio stream I listen to just a few minutes ago.
I'm sure a link will be available soon.
*edit*

Because the CIA knows that men get stupid around them... unfortunately they apparently haven't been able to solve that problem with their own male personnel
Everyone makes mistakes. Why judge him. I'm sure marriage is hard enough without all the extra stress his position puts him in.

I wonder when we will stop eating our own like this. Another fine public servant gone because of a purely personal matter.

judge him? he took a vow and broke it. that's enough to judge him as a paice of shit. The guy May be great in his job (for that i am sad he resigned) i can still consider the guy a shithead.
it's really easy to NOT have an affair. all it takes is a sliver of self control.
I do give him respect for coming out with it. resigning to work on his marriage. I do wish him luck on that.
I am going to tell you what this is and you are not going to believe it:
We all hate ourselves and that self hate is hidden and deeply buried. We were psychically murdered as children and we long to return to our original health. We want to feel what killed us so we can be reborn, but because our deaths were so painful we don't want to remember either.
Thus it is we are driven to feel what we felt, ho worthless we really feel, but we are afraid to because of the pain. We are doomed and we are trapped, so what do we do with our inexorable need and or terrible fear? What we do is to back in to our trauma and destroy our lives, driven at once by the need to deny and to feel.
And the greater we become in life without understanding what we feel, the more the need to prove our worthlessness becomes. The General had an affair so he could prove the truth of his feelings, that he's a worthless piece of shit. It's the feeling he was driven to feel so he could become real again, but until he feels what he really feels with memory of childhood events, he can't heal the real damage. He can only feel shame vicariously. Pity him for he has destroyed himself out of ignorance. We do not know, we do not know we don't want to know, and we do not know we do not want to know.
So sad and you will not see this either.

He took a vow to his wife(family) and GOD. Those are the only people whose forgiveness matters. Noone said he didn't make a mistake but it's always easier to throw stones.
Btw, it's easy not to fall off the wagon when no-one else wants you. But, when you have a modicum of success, are in a position of power or are in a position where you constantly have to be away from your wife, I assume it becomes harder. Instead of people thinking it is easy, maybe people should know it is hard and they'll treat being faithful with the respect it deserves.

and i can still think a guy/girl that breaks that vow is a paice of shit. I don't need or does he want my forgiveness that has nothing to do with it.
It's easy to stay faithful. keep your fucking dick in your pants.
Ooooo, I'll play...
"Why wasn't this announced before the election? It was a cover-up to help Obama! Patraeus is a secret liberal!"
Or how about...
"Patraeus is too good a man for this! He's being blackmailed by Obama!"
The only shame is the conspiracy of ignorance that creates the mind prison we live in and are destroyed by. The rabbit hole of denial is deeper than your philosophy can credit, dear friend.
