At least she wasn't responsible for 100th of the deaths her boyfriend, noname, was. (As far as we know, anyway.)

 

Although article is kind to him, it does say:

During his first decade in Congress, the Air Force promoted Graham twice even though documents in his military personnel file reveal that he did little or no work. Later, the Pentagon gave the military lawyer a job assignment in the Air Reserve that he highlighted in his biography for several years but never performed.

After he was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1994, Graham was designated by the Air Force Reserve as a "key federal employee," a category for a small number of lawmakers and senior government officials.

Over the next 10 years, he rarely put on his uniform. According to his personnel file, between January 1995 and January 2005 he received credit for a total of 108 hours of training — the equivalent of less than a day and a half per year.

During that span, however, the Air Force kept awarding him promotions. In 1998, he attained the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. Six years later, he was promoted to colonel by President George W. Bush.

From 2006 until the start of this year, Graham's official biographies stated that he worked as a senior instructor at the Judge Advocate General's School at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, the training hub for the service's legal corps. That description has been cited in virtually all news coverage of Graham's military career.

In fact, Air Force officials said they had no record of Graham teaching any courses on behalf of the school or even visiting it during that period.

Other uniformed lawyers said Graham's assignment was widely perceived as a no-show job granted to a politician with whom the Air Force brass was eager to curry favor.

"It was kind of an open joke among people, that he was supposed to be a senior instructor here but he never taught any classes," said an active-duty Air Force lawyer who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation. "Clearly, the rules didn't apply to him."

In his interviews with The Post, Graham acknowledged that he "never went" to Maxwell Air Force Base and didn't serve as an instructor for the school. "I actually did zero," he said with a chuckle. "I don't know why they picked that title." https://archive.is/wip/HvfwF
