Defense Secretary Ash Carter will not seek to demote retired Gen. David Petraeus for sharing classified information with his biographer, according to a Jan. 29 letter from the Pentagon to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
"As you know, the Army completed its review of his case and recommended no additional action. Given the Army review, Secretary Carter considers this matter closed," Stephen C. Hedger, principal deputy assistant secretary of Defense for legislative affairs, wrote in a letter obtained by The Hill.

It sure surprised me when I came across it. I'm really glad to see this. It's like a judge told my ex wife. There's a big difference in being a good father, and a good husband. There's a big difference in being a good General and a good husband.

If anyone ever thought special privilege and favoritism did not exist in the military, this should convince them otherwise. Only saving grace is that Gen Petraeus has sealed his history and this is how he will always be remembered, for being an unfaithful cheating husband and causing grave damage to two families, his and hers, while whispering sweet classified information in the ear of a female civilian not his wife. Lucky he has 4-star retirement so he won't be forced to look for employment after transition.

The person he had an affair with wasn't a civilian (West Point Grad, and Major in Reserves iirc), and had a security clearance. She just didn't have need to know or appropriate access.
