We don't need details of the Petraeus affair

This trying episodic affair CIA Director David Petraeus had with his biographer should truly be kept within the confines of his family. Let the condemnation come from within that realm.

Once again, we as TV viewers are bombarded every minute of every day with the regurgitation of filthy news.

This is and always has been a systemic issue in all of the services and has always been looked upon as "being one of the guys."

If our country's security was never compromised, please keep my ears, eyes and my mind settled on something that truly matter to me - the weather, sports and if my taxes will be raised.
