Long before she met David Petraeus , Hollister Knowlton was Army royalty. Her great-great-grandfather fought in the Civil War and the Indian Wars; her great-grandfather was a brigadier general in the Spanish-American War; her grandfather served in both world wars, earning a Silver Star in the first and rising to lieutenant colonel in the second.
Her father, William Knowlton, is a retired four-star general and NATO commander. He also was superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy, which is how, in 1973, his daughter met her future husband.
Holly was a senior at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., visiting her parents for the weekend. A friend of her mother’s asked if she’d like to go to the football game with a cadet she knew. But when he turned out to be busy, the woman called the cadet office in search of an escort. The assignment fell to David Petraeus.

In 2010. she was invited to brief Elizabeth Warren on consumer financial problems facing the military. She says she didn’t realize the meeting was a job interview. She was hired to lead the new office and started in January 2011.

The Brownback amendment will possibly be voted on today.

The No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., along with Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Holly Petraeus , the wife of the head of U.S. Central Command, said young soldiers, sailors and airmen are often preyed upon by unethical auto dealers.

David Petraeus’ ex-mistress, Paula Broadwell, left a female news photographer with a bloodied forehead Monday in a confrontation outside the biographer’s North Carolina home.
The 40-year-old West Point grad smacked the photographer with the driver’s side door of her Nissan Pathfinder SUV.
“I had my camera and in all the chaos the door slammed and I got hit in the head with the flash,” said Nell Redmond, a freelancer for the Associated press.
Redmond suffered a small cut on her forehead in the incident, witnessed by a Daily News reporter.
The encounter occurred just before 2 p.m. as Broadwell, wearing sunglasses and a cream-colored turtleneck sweater, tried to avoid reporters and photographers by sneaking out a side door of her house in a ritzy enclave of Charlotte.

Sorry, but if your camera/face is impeding the progress of another human being you happen to be hounding, then YES, your ass deserves to get smacked with a car door.
Violate the personal space, you get bumped, what is the problem?

I wonder why they keep calling her the ex-mistress
For all anyone knows they are still together. This chick has that crazy kind of energy that I suspect you can't give up without a fight of some kind or another
