Search: Broadwell Afghanistan Patraeus
I see many articles about them spending time together in Afghanistan- some say she was embedded with him (what a term- I know) for a year, others say she made several trips, but yes she did spend considerable time with him working on his biography while he was active duty.
I obviously have no idea when their affair began but quotes in several articles from people that knew them make it sound like they believe the affair was going on then. I am just not so sure the affair only began after he retired. Possible but I am just skeptical.
From what I understand Broadwell may not have been subject to UCMJ, she is a Reserve Officer but if she wasn’t activated at the time/there on orders I am not sure how that works. Although a friend of ours that has been in Iraq and Afghanistan as a contract worker says they are subject to USMJ while working with the military in combat zone- so I guess it depends what her designation was exactly.
Thanks Tammy.
It seems like a lot questions need to be answered.
I would not think that Broadwell would be in Afghanistan without orders. She have to pay for travel and room and board while there on her own.
We’ll see.
