Methinks you need do some research”

McFarland’s government career began while she was a freshman at George Washington University, working part-time in the White House Situation Room typing the President’s Daily Brief. She spent seven years in the West Wing of the White House, working her way up to become a member of Henry Kissinger’s National Security Council Staff. After the Ford Administration, McFarland studied at Oxford University (BA, MA) in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with concentrations on nuclear weapons, China, and the Soviet Union. She served as the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs under President Ronald Reagan from 1982 to 1985, and senior speechwriter to and principal deputy assistant secretary of defense Pentagon spokesman under Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger.

In 1985, she received the Defense Department’s highest civilian award, the Defense Distinguished Service Medal.
