Petraeus says he is willing to serve in Trump administration

Petraeus served under both President Barack Obama and President George W. Bush.

“I’ve been in a position before where a president has turned to me in the Oval Office in a difficult moment, without any pleasantries, and said ‘I’m asking you as your president and Commander in Chief to take command of the international security force in Afghanistan,” Petraeus told the BBC. “The only response can be: ‘Yes, Mr President.'”

Republicans argue that compared to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State, Petraeus did little wrong — a point repeatedly endorsed by Trump.
