Michael, apples to oranges again. The military goes after people they don't like. My cousin is a prime example,he was an AIr Force pilot,unmarried,they thought he was gay,they drummed him out,didn't give him a good review. Well he and a fellow Ari Force pilot who is female both left and got married. Hey,I wonder if they had sex on the base? Was it consensual we will never know,but they have three kids now. Hiram

<< So it was insubordination not sex that was her ultimate downfall. >> However, the insubordination was based on a private sexual relationship that never should have been investigated in the first place, so disobeying was okay. After all, it's not like she disobeyed an important order, something actually related to doing her job, right? We should just forget about and go on, let her do her job! Okay, I'm being a little sarcastic - it's early. I am not questioning the actions taken against the female officer - discipline in the military has to be absolute or the military couldn't function. It's just extremely annoying to hear these arguments used to protect Clinton, when, although he is technically a civilian, he is the head of the armed forces. His actions could destroy that discipline as well as the overall morale of the military. This has nothing to do with the impeachment issue - it only points out again the complete recklessness of his actions.
