At War

Michelle Obama Norfolk Va.jpg

I love Michelle. I feel for Vivian Greentree. I just don’t see why Mike Greentree (mirroring his wife in the sunglasses) has to be cardboard.

    John Chuckman’s take,
    “I thought I knew every twist of American popular culture, but apparently not. It is an inventive society, and war is a creative force that brings new impulses”

    Sorry, can you please clarify? Do you mean you don’t know why there are still soliders at war (necessitating a stand-in), or do you mean you don’t know why this Army wife would include the flat husband in the photo op?
