Petraeus: 'A Lot of Soul Searching'
As Year Five of the War Continues, Top Commander Still Questions Himself

{snip}

"There's an awful lot of soul searching that goes on when you're a commander of an endeavor like this. And you do occasionally ask yourself, 'Is it worth it?' And I've done that in the past," Petraeus said. "I did that as a commander of the 101st Airborne Division during the first year heading up the training, getting that going in the second, third year and so fourth and it never stops."

Even with those thoughts, Petraeus said he wouldn't be engaged in the situation if he didn't believe it was worth it.

"I certainly ask myself that periodically," he said. "I think any commander should do that, must do it. And if I ever thought that was not the case, I would offer that view through my chain of command."
