I am disgusted... [View all]

first of all, this Paula person looks pretty oily and predatory to me. Second, what is this business about sending bare chested pictures to a married woman via email??? Third, why can't these guys who have my security and that of my country in their hands keep their minds above their belt buckles? I hear all this talk about the poor General, out there in the foreign boonies, fighting the good fight...nobody is talking about his wife, Holly, who had to keep the family together, raise his kids, take care of business while the General is roaming the world. I was a "waiting wife" as they called us during the Vietnam War, and I know how hard it is to be trying to keep things together on the home front. Bullshit to these guys and bullshit to these predatory women. This whole thing is just a disgusting, badly written soap opera. I wish Holly well and hope she kicks the General to the curb, he richly deserves it. Hubris, look it up, it applies here.
