Collecting Kisses for the Troops

First of all, I can’t say what Gen. Petraeus’s relationship was to Jill Kelly, standing there next to Mrs. Petraeus in Tampa in 2010. I do know it got his mistress pretty fired up though. I also don’t know what the story is between Ms. Kelly and Gen. Allen, America’s top Commander, but it looks like he too is caught in the snare.

Well, maybe a good fiscal cliff is just what the military needs right now.

Of course, we know that the wars over the past ten years have brought a string of moral failures, but that was just massacres and such. Who knew there was such philandering going on? As they say, the fish stinks from the head. In the meantime, while we wait for the media frenzy to sort things out, I was admiring the timing of Cosmo’s “Kisses for the Troops” promotion on Veterans Day.

I guess some boys just can’t get enough.
