With cases like this, it is no wonder why recruitment numbers are plummeting. Why anyone would want to devote a life to the military, have an outstanding unblemished record, become a four star general, only to be booted out three months before you could retire. I wonder how many other soldiers have had extramarital affairs that have gone unpunished? How come when you torture and kill people it falls under service to your country but when you sleep around it is criminal and against the “Code”? How come one president can fix intelligence around the policy to get us into an illegal war it goes unmentioned, but when another president has an extramarital affair he gets a special counsel Ken Starr giving him the fifth degree (ultimately leading to an impeachment trial)?

WTF - Apparently adultery is a family value on a whole higher level than lying, torture, war, needless death and suffering. I guess I really need to get my priorities straight.
