I thought so too, especially that she clearly did not go after the deep pockets of the government: she just wanted her expenses back.

The landlord is selling her a house that was damaged at the foundation, which looks now like a good deal, but I think she'll have losses in the future.

I wish she got more money for this; she deserved it.

According to the article, she is going to get more, for some kind of health claim. For example, she wants counseling for her daughter. Here's my counseling: This won't happen again. Just thank God that the bomb didn't explode. Now can I be paid for this post?

While some compensation is appropriate, I certainly would not consider it appropriate or patriotic to ask for more money than the actual financial loses. Something tells me that the Air Force would have done this without her having to get a lawyer. (Yea, I know, the Air Force may have advised her to get a lawyer, so that they wouldn't be blamed later for cheating her. I personally would not have taken that advice, but that's me.)
