Wrong presumption. Within four months, Hale had allegedly blackmailed Carpino, a civilian, into having a sexual relationship with him. Then, when both her marriage and the affair began to break up, Hale switched allegiance and offered to testify in the divorce case that she was an unfit mother. Yet when Pentagon officials found out about his alleged manipulations, he got away clean. Instead of facing retribution, the two-star general was allowed to retire quietly.

Carpino said she vowed then to get even, and the two began waging war on each other. Carpino's ex-husband remembers Hale's calling him to say he would help him gain custody of his son. When the colonel explained he needed to demonstrate Carpino was an unfit mother...
