A better fit for him would be overseeing President Obama’s manufacturing initiative in a task force that does technology assessment, gathers intelligence, forms plans and allocates resources to implement them, and rescues the industrial base of the US. At the CIA, he was compromised, but it would be a waste of a fine man for him to be idle.
The man’s career was to serve as a General who then went on to head the CIA, and you are suggesting that he be put in charge of of a government program to rescue the industrial base of the USA? Your suggestion brings to mind a warning from former President Dwight Eisenhower: “we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.”.
I wish he had continued work regardless.
his personal life has little to do with his job…
The military and by extension the CIA have always been concerned about situations that are disruptive of “good order and discipline”. And they don’t want people inside or outside of the military to think that there is some kind of “double standard” where low ranking people get punished, and high ranking people are immune from investigation.
Paula Broadwell ↔ General David Petraeus ↔ Jill Kelley ↔ General John Allen ↔ 20K-30K pages of sensitive material, and a shirtless FBI agent. Has the world gone Looney Tunes?
