LOL, sorry, I normally just lurk here but this whole situation gets under my skin as I watch guys get busted for adultry in the service when they are out in the desert for 6 months away from their wives. While I am not defending them, it is more understandable than having your wife in the next room and nailing some intern just for fun and then having people defend him. Same situation with Kelly Flinn. I was in SAC on B-52s for 14 years and knew what it took to do the job. She was not a good pilot, commander nor would she have even been allowed to turn a wrench on a BUFF (nickname for B-52). Yet John Q. Public rushed to defend her only because she ran to the press crying. We couldn't trust her to obey an order to stay away from the guy because she "needed to follow her heart". How could we have trusted her to drop a warhead on a major city and instantly vaporize a few million people if her heart wouldn't have agreed? Sometimes people need to step back and look at the big picture and not the one the press shoves down our throat.

I will retreat back into lurk mode and shut up now.

Good Luck and be careful in this market. My TA shows a nice run the next couple days but a major downturn starting after a top Wednesday.
