Scandal, scandal! Yet another Political Sex Scandal!

Why
does this shock me? Why does this shock us, America? It’s no news that Washington has a history of
Sex Scandals dating back to…well…since the VERY BEGINNING! Sex Scandals have
written history! David and Bathsheba, anyone? Samson and Delilah, ring a bell?
JFK and the voluptuous Marilyn Monroe. Even Benjamin Franklin had his share of
mistresses! I could go on and on! I could also dive into the psychology of an affair,
but I won’t…not today at least, the point is, infidelity has been rocking our
world since pretty much the dawn of man.
I think our feathers are all in a ruffle over General Petraeus’
infidelity because we expect MORE from our leaders. Fair or not, our leaders—Political
and Spiritual—are held to a higher standard. We TRUST them to always do the
right thing! An Officer leads by example, and I am sorry to say, but his
example is crippling. Our soldiers and their families have been stretched to
the limit, many families have already crumbled under the weight of this war, and
the last thing we need to hear about is the World’s Greatest General crumbling
his own life.
As an Army wife, this whole thing makes me sick, and my
heart goes out to the General’s family. Although my inner redneck woman would
like to take a frying pan to the General, my heart hurts for him too. He is,
after all, just a man…someone who
sins like everyone else. Sin is a funny thing…it’s a very selfish thing ‘cause we
never consider who all will be casualties of the crossfire. I will be praying for Mrs. Petraeus, the
General, his children, and for an uprising of moral leaders in our country on
the political and spiritual spectrum.
Click to read last week's Q and A with Author Joanne Bischof author of Be Still My Soul, which has some scandal in it as well! Blush, blush! lol :) Really, it's not that scandalous or I wouldn't have read it!
