re: Army Times: Brig. Gen. Sinclair will retire as a lieutenant colonel

Kind of harsh. She faithfully served as a military spouse. Her husband did not faithfully serve as an Army officer as a colonel and a brigadier general. Just curious, are you married?

She benefitted from whatever service he did to rise to GO/FO rank, so she should understand that she will suffer whatever loss of status his misdeeds entail. It is harsh. But that's like asking if a murderer's child should suffer because his or her father is in the pen.

I've never been married. I was engaged for six months to a girl I still think about daily. But I was too immature (at 26) to do the right thing. She was German and probably the main reason I'm so fond of Germany.
