4. During my time at Boot Camp the DI's were still dissing her, |

She was conscious of when she got involved.
George C. Marshall put her on the uber-exclusive distribution list of the daily summary of global military activity in June '42.
She completely charmed Gen. Eichelberger, Gen. Marshall, Adm. Spruance, Adm. Halsey, Gen. Clay, etc.
Most famous is the case with the Tuskegee Airmen. Their racist C.O. said, "I take my orders from Gen. Arnold. Gen. Arnold gets his orders from Gen. Marshall, and Gen. Marshall gets his orders from Eleanor Roosevelt, so these boys are going to fly combat."
