That's just too ****ing dumb to merit an answer, but I'll give you this much of one - he and his subordinate commanders ruined other people's careers for exactly the same thing, to then turn around and do it himself is totally unacceptable and a grave failure in leadership and dishonor to his service. Spare me the 'We wuz in luuuuvvvv' horseshit.
Sorry but having watched all these Leaders of Nations down to those at the end of the totem pole, have their live and career ruined because of SEX what the heck am I suppose to think.
I think my first eye opener came when a grand child asked me about Oral Sex after watching the news. WTF was I to tell her, she was 8 years old and I was aghast to have a question like that from a child because she watched our President twist and turn, do the white mans shuck and jive in public.
[ I took the easy way out and told her to go ask HER mother.] Thank heavens for being a grandmother, one can hand the child back to the parents and escape the responsibility of trying to explain the strange things going on in to days world.
Hell even those raised in the 70's watching MASH and to days reruns know about Frank and Hot Lips.
One in the last 10-15 years can compile a Loooong list of People in some kind of government service that have screwed up their careers and marriages because of sex.
Who would have thought 20 years or more ago a openly Gay man who was accused of allowing his home to be run as a male Whore house would become a leader in State politics in Mass.
Now I like Petraeus, good man for the job, a hard working patriot that simply gave in to his urges as a male. Poor fella, he was taken down for something our Past President and who knows how many others were guilty of.
In most of the world leaders are expected to have mistresses, fact of life for thousands of years. Was it not France where when the leader died both wife and mistress stood together to morn.?
Very civilized and as we know even Eisenhower had a long time mistress in Europe. Then Kennedy, Johnson who jumped anything that moved, Nixon was into politics more then Sex, Carter a strange one, life aboard his boat must have been hell for the crew.
Tanker a fact of life is that one can set up rules of behavior for anyone, but when it comes to human needs, love, comfort and a willing ear to help one through the day or night, forget it, call it love or lust, this is important as food clothing or shelter.
Tanker, read up on the adventures of Admiral Perry, left a wife in Boston to be gone for years exploring the north seas. DNA shows the Eskimos have much blood from him and his crews.
When I first married into the service I in no way expected my husband to go for months without some kind of sex. This was the nature of the beast, on land I expected total faith fullness, however when he set sail for months at a time and pulled into a port of call, heck, the poor dude deserved some R&R as I was not there to give it to him.
