He can afford to. He has a 100% salary match on his military pension.
Not good when someone in his position can't keep his cock in his pants.

He is the Director of the CIA. Affairs are not acceptable in ANY country.
Unless someone is breaking the law (like fecking a minor or a prostitute), we really couldn't care less here in Norway. It's none of our business, and it doesn't have anything to do with the someone's qualifications for governing.
What? Why is it relevant? Why is it anyone else's business?
What a dick. Fox saying it's all to do with Benghazi.
He is a feckING SPY MASTER. It kind of compromises him if his cock keeps falling out of his pants.
Possibly opening himself up to extortion/blackmail.
Stop pretending that you know how people think in countries where you've never lived or paid tax.
How? In what way is this relevant to anyone other than his wife and family?
How convenient for FOX. There's the new story to run with in their relentless assault on President Obama. They'll tie it all in saying he's being scapegoated and obviously has info that would cause Obama to be impeached, yadda yadda.

I have lived there and paid taxes actually.
Only for four weeks but still counts, not.Everywhere?
That's impressive.
That's impressive.
Patreaus was never a CIA field officer that I'm aware of so technically he was never an actual spy. He was military brass.
But in his position he has to be squeaky clean. CIA Director is an extremely important and public position.
But there's no evidence of that, and there are no reports of him having revealed classified information because he was being blackmailed over this. What I'm saying is that it's ridiculous for someone to have to resign from his job simply because he or she cheated on their spouse.
Like J Edgar Hoover.. allegedly
Most impressive.
Sorry, been dying to get a Star Wars reference in all day for some reason...
Maybe it was solely his decision...we don't know if he was told to resign.
Its pretty common for people to resign for extra marital affairs, especially with a subordinate. Most the time you don't hear about it. My old man used to talk to both of them and tell them they both get fired or the senior employee left voluntary. That would have included his employees in Norway BTW.
Perhaps, but I was responding to mjs saying that it's "not good" when someone in his position can't keep his cock in his pants. I'm saying that it's irrelevant for whether he's good at his job or not.
Really great bullshitting from FOX at the moment. Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi....Apparently is as serious as fabricating WMDs according to...erm....well, no one really, but listen, BENGHAZI!!!
Its pretty much a given that you don't compromise yourself in certain professions. You are wide open to extortion and blackmail if you can't resist a bit of tail.
I have met Patraeus BTW, just saying.
Mockers I worry for you with all the Fox News you are watching.
Non-converts can only handle it in small doses or else they are reduced to a paranoid old babbling buffoon.
Right, because that strengthens your argument.
You twats have me watching Fox News, bastards.
I met Tom Landry therefore I know how to coach gridiron football.
I don't have an argument. Some jobs require a high level of discretion, Directory of CIA is one such job. I am also against married people in the work place having affairs. Integrity and honesty are two basic qualities that many companies look for.
Shitting on your own door step is not wise. feck a married woman from another company, simplest.
And your post is moot because mine was followed with "just saying"
You didn't specify that that was part of your argument. I am only responding to your claim that it's bad for someone in high positions to have an extramarital affair (which I think is irrelevant.)
Your position is more understandable if it entails that he's taken advantage of one of his subordinates.
My initial argument is someone in one of the most sensitive jobs in the world, if not the most sensitive job, might be a tad vulnerable if he can't keep his cock in his pants.
I would make an awful Director of the CIA. There would be photos and videos of me doing all sorts of stuff locked in safes across the globe.
Were he still serving military he'd also be in violation of the UCMJ.
Just thought of a good one...General Petraus? More like General Betray-Us, am I right?
What's the point in working all your life to reach a powerful position if you can't use your status to have sex with women? Amirite?
Fox analyst just said the 'wife always gets the shaft in these things'.....not always. Maybe that was the problem!
