My Take
Eric Greitens may be the most whiplash-inducing resume I have come across: Navy SEAL, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, then governor of Missouri. That is an almost cinematic arc, and his abrupt 2018 resignation gives it a tragic third act. I find him hard to judge precisely because the peaks and the fall are both so steep. What interests me less is the politics and more the question underneath: what drives a person to keep scaling new summits, from battlefield to statehouse to the page? I would read his own account before trusting anyone else's.
