“In my role as a military family member, I have seen the problems that can arise for our service members who may experience ‘too much month and not enough money,’” Mrs. Petraeus said in her prepared testimony.

I stand in awe of Mrs. Petraeus's ability to use such a hackneyed phrase... almost crime enough...

The system's been dirty since dirty began? Patraeus's looking dirty? Are all the rest of you out there afraid? Maybe you're not perfect either? Oh well, it's easier to control people who have been compromised. And MUCH easier to control those who have been mildly compromised.
