SeaGypsy: I plead complete guilt in being, generally, a left wing libertarian.

I realize conservatives will have a problem with this kind of thing, despite how often THEY get caught with their pants down. (Just like the left gets caught far too often with their hands in the till, while "helping the little guy". I HATE hypocrisy!)

While I generally agree with all you say, I don't see how this addresses my argument. IF THEY DID THIS ON THEIR OWN TIME, SO WHAT? IF NOT FIRE THEM.

Simple, objective, and effective, if used as a carrot/stick example, no?

Have you seen what happens in the UK over there merest private sex scandal in politics? It's bloody ridiculous. I think it's revealing of the power of church over state in many instances, although unstated. Anyhow, when you play with fire....

SeaGypsy, you seem to be well versed on the sex industry, have you thought of becoming a consultant for the Secret Service?

I'm with Outcast on this one. I don't give two shits what people do on their own time and dime. Seems like a lot of hubbub about nothing to me.

I'm sure the GOP spinmeisters are busy blaming Obama. Funny how they turn a blind eye to wholesale graft in the "defense" industry, though. Speaking of which, whatever happened to those missing pallets of $100 bills during the Iraq War? Still missing I presume. And that trillion dollars the Pentagon lost in the couch cushions some years back? Also still missing. But yes, let's focus on some obscure bureaucrat who spent too much on a party, or some jocks with badges dipping their wicket in the wrong hole(s).

Anyone with SE Asian family has at least some prostitutes related to them. The biggest house in my extended family is owned by a lady who openly hooked from 16 to 32 years old before settling down and marrying a very senior US Navy serviceman and moving to Connecticut. She set up a straight massage business and has kept a dozen ex-hooker wives in honest employment for nearly 20 years.

Yes, yes, Planted, what a sordid little scandal. Reminds me of that porno novel about Clinton's dick the GOP commissioned (with taxpayer money) back in the '90s.

On a different subject, I was wondering how much you get paid per post. Is it lucrative? PM me with details, I could use some side money.

The leftist GUARDIAN newspaper in Britain has pointed out that its against the law for US military personel to hire prostitutes.

"Embarrassed by allegations that ten military men were involved in the Colombian scandal of buying women for the sex of prostitution, the US chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Martin Dempsey, seemed most concerned that "We let the boss down." He also added, "We're embarrassed by what occurred in Colombia, though we're not sure exactly what it is."

We're not sure exactly whether the general knows that the Department of Defense (DoD) has a zero tolerance policy opposing the purchasing of persons in prostitution, recognizing that it contributes to sex-trafficking. Readers learn that prostitution is legal in certain areas of Colombia called "tolerance zones". We don't learn that patronizing prostitution by US servicemen is illegal anywhere. Since 2006, patronizing prostitution is a crime when committed by service members under article 134 of the US military's criminal law (the uniform code of military justice)."

The military prohibition on patronizing prostitutes reflects concern over sex-trafficking of young women......which is exactly how the brothels in Cartegena get their young women.

A John is called a John because he's just a bloody John. When a John starts bragging to a hooker about his status, he is confusing his sex worker with his sex therapist and taking an almighty risk, especially in drastic economically circumstances such as these. It would make more sense for there to be a realistic sex education for folks entering the military, with a focus on hooker/ John etiquette and safety. The sort of things I would tell my 20 year old son going on holiday in Thailand, not pleasant perhaps to talk about or confront, but necessary to avoid potential disaster.

Hi there
weird things happen all the time during campaigns.

The government sex tourism scandal expands again----investigators found that prostitution also went on at the hotel where Obama was booked several days before his arrival.

This has raised concerns that agents in Obama's personal security detail who were booked in that hotel were partying or perhaps that WH staff who were there to lay the groundwork for Obama were partying.

The inquisition investigation continues.
