Holly Petraeus, Wife of Afghan War Commander, in Line for Consumer Post

In 1965, one of my Latino soldiers was victimized along "the strip" which was Victory Drive outside Ft. Benning, GA. The "businessman" took advantage of the fact that the soldier's wife was an illiterate Mexican woman and got her to sign a contract for $1,200.00, in exchange for a broken old chair. Five of my soldiers paid the guy a visit in civilian clothes, busted up his shop, and got the contract back. The soldier told me, "I will be a damned good soldier, you will see." In Vietnam, he saved eleven men in an ambush while getting shot three times in the process. As I watched a general pin the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart to his pyjamas, he told the general, "My company take care of me, and I take care of them."

I think this is a GREAT idea. The wife of the commander of our forces knows what military families have to go through. She will be a strong advocate for the families of our brave fighting men and women! Thank you, Elizabeth Warren - the People's Champion!

No nepotism, cronyism, nor political paybacks to be seen here, folks. Just keep it moving, we'll let you know if we think of some more regulations for you...

I don't think we civilians or military families need anymore consumer advocates. My Lord, we can't make any credible decisions on our own or take a risk? The United States is over regulated, the States have no autonomy from the Feds, and the welfare lines are growing because of this monster government. Can't these people allow us to handle our own problems? If a person can't read the small print, they can get help, but most of us can and we can spot a charleton a mile away and we know what to do if we get bitten. Why not assign us a shadow to follow us around all day long? I feel stiffled and strangled to death by this government mother. What weanies we've become. OOOH, the big bad businessman is gonna get us.
