The problem is serious enough that an entire federal office is now devoted to protecting military families from financial fraud and abuse. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand brought Holly Petreaus, wife of CIA Director General David Petraeus, and head of  to the new Office of Servicemember Affairs to Fort Drum last week.  The office is part of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. About 200 people turned out to hear about the  office’s work. Joanna Richards was there and has the story.
