The Depression was the background of her school days, and World War II arrived with graduation, so she remembers when the government could work, and would work for the good of the people. Having lived through World War II and given that what my Father did in the military during his career was always classified, she understands about secrets and the need to keep them, but knows that it doesn’t cover crimes and screw-ups. She understood that I might not actually be at where I was supposedly stationed, and adjusted.
She isn’t impressed with spying on people for no good reason, because she understands that it means not enough people are watching the real problems.
Currently the only current or former President that she feels understands the Middle East is Jimmy Carter, because he’s the only one who has actually accomplished anything there.
