My understanding is that a good soldier always obeys his commander—no matter what. That makes General David Petraeus a good soldier. This man knows exactly what his Commander-in-Chief wants and he delivers. But this is not what the American people want. I don’t understand why people who say they are committed to democracy have such a problem with the suggestion that General Petraeus might be putting the wishes of the President ahead of the desires of the American people. He is doing what a good soldier does and people who question his actions are doing what good citizens do.
