<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Actually nothing new when it comes to matters of the heart, so to speak. Its just that now all these people are being hold to a much higher standard of conduct with absolutely no regard for ability to fight our real enemies.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sounds like the husband did a job on him. Nothing good ever comes from dating a married woman.

Drake</a> in the internet age, anything that is done is going to be readily available. <br /><br />Affairs are a sad but all too common part of military culture. I am not making a morality statement, I am simply stating a fact. I wasn't out of boot camp before I started hearing stories about the "widows of westpac" and other sordid tales of sailors and wives hooking up for boot knocking as soon as one battle group deploys and another returns home.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think its a long term problem that has been kept quiet over the years and now with instant posting to Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and so many other sites when you cough and don't cover your mouth someone is probably getting the video or photo and thinking about how to post it.<br />I am fairly certain that everyone knows or remembers back in the day how things like this would happen and the person involved would swiftly and quietly be reassigned and dealt with accordingly.<br />Seems when something happens now its dragged out forever and thus the individual in question, because actions by they command are so slow in coming, decides to dig their hole deeper by doing more ignorant stuff.<br />Lets get back to allowing commanding officers to have the authority to deal with these situations quickly, stop having to run everything up to higher levels. Taking authority away from CO's erodes good order and discipline.
