"He won his medals the old fashioned way"

If she means by being a well connected medal hunter, and being sent home before he got some of our guys killed to get them, then I guess it can be called old fashioned. In another universe.

"Is it me, or are Teresa's gray roots showing?"

Yep...I think they are. She brags about doing her own hair you know. She can spend $8,000 for her kiddy's bike, but can't spend the money to have a beautician do her hair. It looks like she does it.
