Thanks to Obama, getting ahead in the military seems to require that you have a “her wife” or a “his husband” in tow.

Her replacement, Brig. Gen. Michele Edmondson,

So is this job now permanently reserved for lesbians?

If Robert Redford (The Last Castle)can do, so can she.

She can go from being a Brigadier General to being the General in the brig.
