 Are you part of the base that has been shored up by his selection of her, or are you simpy admiring an astute gesture on his part?
Is there a point at which the personal would become political for you and at which you/the base would be adrift once again?  Her alleged affair?  The stories about her children's drug use?  The suggestion--that I knew was coming--that Track joined the military because he was a screw-up with no other options, etc.
