Should Sec of Def. Carter reduce GEN Petraeus back to LTG after he has retired?

I think we were heard. I wrote my Congressman, who is on the Armed Services Committee. Forbes is a big Seapower supporter. My two Senators are Obamanation minions, but I write Sen Warner anyway. Tim Kaine is not worth the effort, and he wants to be Hillary's (gag) running mate.

simple answer NO

I have a better question Why is this issue still being debated even though Secretary Carter has already made his decision which is that no further action be taken against the General. The case is closed so maybe it would be best if folks get over it and move on.

only one way to answer that. ( NO ) if anything Carter should be gone. to answer SFC Dave Wynn post, yes the military should be heard . but it should be heard against unequal treatment. compare Clinton to the General. it sucks. and they wonder why the people of this country are pissed.

No General Petraeus has paid for his mishandling classified data. I also think Ash Carter is not in the same league as General Petraeus and he should not even consider any reduction in rank for this General who I have the utmost respect for. He screwed up big time. admitted it and took his punishment. Let him enjoy his retirement from the Army and try to restore his reputation.

No, I'ts a political tool now. Leave him alone. This administration has wrongly used it's powers to hurt enough people and to protect enough wrong people.

UPDATE: Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter has decided not to impose any further punishment on David H. Petraeus, the former CIA director and retired Army general who was forced to resign in a sex-and-secrets scandal in 2012.

In a brief letter sent Friday to the leaders of the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Pentagon reported that Carter had agreed with the Army’s recommendation not to discipline Petraeus.

“Given the Army’s review, Secretary Carter considers this matter closed,” Stephen C. Hedger, the assistant secretary of defense for legislative affairs, said in the three-sentence letter, obtained by The Washington Post. The letter did not elaborate.

No. As a General officer, he probably gave himself a GO letter of reprimand, which would have ended his career anyway.

Leave the good general alone. He's paid. Any administration would leave a Petraeus turning slowly in the wind if it were to their benefit. This administration does not need a reason to do damage to a military man. They do it because they like it.

If all it takes to damage our military is the use of the expression "workplace violence" rather than go to the truth, they will and already have done it.

I say hell no. We have worse perpetrators walking around free enjoying a stress free life.
