Army Investigating Senate Candidate Cal Cunningham Following Reports of Affair

Thank you my friend SSG Robert Mark Odom for making us aware that the U.S. Army is "investigating Democratic North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham, who is a Reserve officer, who is married and has children, had an affair this year with public relations consultant Arlene Guzman Todd of California, whose husband has served in the Army, according to published reports."

Adultery is serious for those who are serious about faith, although the country at large seems to ignore adultery [except for the injured spouses and children]

Thanks for sharing.

As a resident of North Carolina, the Senate race in NC directly impacts me.

The issue of adultery also has had an impact on me, as my first wife cheated on me. I immediately filed for divorce. She asked why I didn't want to go to marriage counseling. I told her, "For what? There's nothing to talk about. I don't trust you anymore."

Thus, if your spouse can't trust you, why should anyone else? If you would violate the most basic trust one can have in a relationship, then what should those who are subject to your lawmaking powers think or feel about your trustworthiness in office?

Some say that what one does in their personal life has no bearing on their professional life. Wrong. If you're a dirtbag in your personal life, you cannot be a paragon of virtue and professionalism in your professional life. The U.S. Military understands this; this is why we have adultery under the UCMJ. This is why we insist on "good order and discipline." If your personal life is a mess, it WILL bleed over into, and affect your professional life.

Cunningham is damaged goods, and should drop out of politics for a while. I would say this to and of anyone, regardless of party affiliation. I don't want someone in office who violates the trust of his family. Again, if you don't care about your family, how can you care about people you've never met?
