Gee, and we wonder why the "war on women" propaganda sticks ...
Holly Petraeus grew up at West Point, where her father was the superintendent. She's spent 38 years as a military wife and spent six years heading the Better Business Bureau's Military Line, educating the troops about the financial scams targeting servicemen and veterans before taking this job. But by all means, let's focus on the fact that at 60-something she doesn't look or dress like a model.
I just spit my coffee out. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!
Ben Franklin look alike.
Wow, it's so nice to catch up with free republic again! Suddenly all the 'war on women' accusations fit. I feel my blood pressure going up a little bit more with every nasty little comment.
Mrs. Petraeus was been an advocate for military families without pay for about 35 years before she got this job. She has been doing something, and she is doing something for military families. Maybe the salary is commensurate to her experience. It's good pay, for sure. But in the overfed world of government bureaucracy, I feel that she has been placed in an appropriate post.
I know many of the people here on these boards are current or prior military. I think you all are aware of the MANY scams that young (and older) military members fall prey to . You may also be aware that military members were victims of many illegal foreclosures in recent years. I think it's good that someone who actually knows what happens and has experienced it first hand or seen it close by and helped others navigate through problems caused by these things.... is in a position to be an advocate.
Okay, I will stop in the hope that y'all won't start slinging ugly names at ME. After all, I just turned 50 and could stand to lose a couple.
