The word is a label and I don't like it at all.

I want to serve. I love my country. I love service above self and I don't want my talents to go to waste. I also want to send a message to other men and women who've tripped over themselves, or over life: that you need to serve your time in purgatory.

I'm not in love with David Petraeus. But I think he does present a terrific role model.

You can reclaim your own narrative.

I think Donald Trump is the best person for the job. It comes back to redemption campaign rhetoric. They all say that stuff.[Barack] Obama and [Hillary] Clinton said that about each other.

I had been working on a second book with [David] Petraeus called Relentless. Obviously that book and the income that it would have generated went away.

The story is framed around [avid Petraeus] resignation. So many headlines that followed talked about his ruined career. They completely ignore the fact that my career was ruined, other peoples' careers were ruined. They focus on him as the victim.
