The following regards the involvement of Lieutenant General Laura Richardson, a dual-military spouse, in her husband’s Family Readiness Group. The point is presented by Lt. Gen. Richardson’s spokesperson. The rebuttal is offered by Mrs. Karen Webster, a spouse in the FRG of Mr. Richardson’s Army Futures Command.

POINT: Lt. Gen. Richardson should do her job. She swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution and to faithfully discharge the duties of her office, which is currently Commander, U.S. Army North.

COUNTERPOINT: When Mrs. Richardson said her marriage vows, she also vowed to support her husband’s Family Readiness Group. Just like the rest of us.
