Speaking on Germany's RTL television network on Sunday evening, Guttenberg said the claims brought against him would not move him to step down as the country's minister of defense. "Even if it gets really stormy, I will stay right where I am," he said. "That's the way I was brought up and that's the way I'm going to deal with it." Earlier, he told public broadcaster ARD that he had not withheld information regarding the September 4 attack, which is believed to have killed and injured dozens of civilians.

It's a rite of passage. The SPIEGEL cover distinctly leaves that impression on me.
