From what I've heard, part of the reason he left is because they have a strict policy with high ranking military and/or intelligence officers that says you can't have any affairs. They're afraid you'll wind up with a Mata Hari and accidentally compromise national security secrets. While I think that specific rule may need to be looked at somewhat, it would be difficult for him to command the respect of the genrals under him if he can't follow the same rules he expects them to follow.
