Who cares? She and her husband have every right to throw parties and invite whoever the hell they want. Loads of people schmooze the military or anyone influential. Hardly anything new about that. If this is supposed to be so concerning then ask the military why they were attending the parties, taking her sky-diving and what they were schmoozing with her for. They're the ones that made her a special friend of the base - ask THEM what THEIR "game" was.
