It turns out that Teresa Heinz’s late husband, John Heinz, was a rather stodgy fellow. queen He regarded the deployment of single or queen soon-to-be mothers as barbaric, reported the Boston Globe. He thought it “questionable whether an 18-year-old tantalized by offers of tuition money has any inkling of what he or she is giving up in ‘volunteering’ to leave children yet to be born behind.” The policy reminded Heinz “of the story queen of Rumpelstiltskin, the dwarf in German folklore who exacts a terrible price for helping a desperate young woman—her first-born child.” The Pentagon disregarded Heinz’s comments, as it “worried about the abstract unfairness of granting single-parent soldiers the full set of career and educational benefits without the obligation of front-line service,” the Boston Globe explained. Feminist folklore from Iraq is a grim tale, not only for orphans but also for families who greet their returning daughters as amputees.
