"Outstanding public service", eh?
Truth is stranger than fiction....you can't make this stuff up!

The award citation praised Kelley for her “outstanding public service to the United States Central Command, the MacDill Air Force Base.
In the past weren't ladies called "Camp Followers" who did what Ms. Kelly does, now we honor them with a meaningless citation instead of cold hard cash?

I don't believe that this has anything to do with Ds or R's, but everything to do with a "military culture" of deception and entitlement.

Dr. Strangelove included this type element (part of being a general). Of course, such affairs are opportunities for espionage and national security lapses, too.

It was General Petreus's idea to give her the medal but I think several generals got onboard here.

I new a woman in Puerto Rico who had half of a submarine insignia. Well I am sure you can guess why.

This could become almost as much fun as Weinergate. The jokes just about write themselves.

Wouldn't it be easier just to give her a 4 or 5 star YELP review? I wonder which category would be most appropriate?
Event Planning?
Home Services?
Active Life?
Health & medical?
Nightlife?
Local Services?
Arts & Entertainment?
Professional Services?
Pets?
Public Services & Government?
Wood cutting?

In order to get 'that woman, Ms. Kelley' upstaged and disappeared from headlines,
over a hundred Gazans had to die last week. Says something.

If you are going to service the military you should get some sort of recognition.
