I don't care if the Poe-leece are with me or not. However, if the military turns, it's over.
That is what these sex scandals are about... they are doing a purge to ensure the Flag officers are loyal, or are at least too scared to do anything ( because I am sure, like all elites, they believe that the rules are for the little people, and all of them have a scandal or more in their closets.. ) Send a pretty young woman to seduce a married man- you just need one mistake, and you have control of him
I'd rather have them in the general public than in the military. Otherwise the more good men get out because they're disgusted at what the military has become, the better off WE are.
If y'all haven't read Barnhardt's piece on the Pentagon's Perfumed Princes and the Brass, do so; scroll down to "The Night of the Long Knives", Parts I and II.
http://barnhardt.biz/ When I was a teenager back in Leavenworth, Kansas, I had occasion to become acquainted with a German lady who had just married a US Army flag officer that she met while working as a civilian contractor on a US Army base in Germany. Her husband was transferred to Ft. Leavenworth, which almost all flag officers pass through at some point. She was a strikingly handsome woman and super-sharp. She was very happy and was eagerly trying to get pregnant and start her family, as she was 35 or so at the time.
The last time I saw her, she was in a state of shock. She had left her husband, was filing for divorce, homeless and trying to organize getting back to Germany. Here is what happened.
She had finally become pregnant. She had just found out and hadn't even told her husband yet. They had been invited to and were attending a party being thrown by the post commander at his home that evening. Most of the upper-echelon flag officers at Ft. Leavenworth would be there. She was very excited and happy that she and her husband were literally now moving amongst the highest levels of the top brass in the US military, and she planned to tell her husband that night after the party that she was pregnant.
They arrived at the party in the gorgeous and huge old home of the post commander. In the foyer, there was a large bowl that all of the men placed their car keys into upon entering the house. She figured that this had something to do with drunk driving protections, as there was certainly drinking at this party. She thought nothing of it.
As midnight rolled around, the party suddenly concluded. All of the couples then moved into the foyer. One by one, the wives stepped up to the bowl full of keys and drew out a set at random. The wives then matched the keys up with their male owners and then left with that man.
It was a wife-swapping party.
When my acquaintance realized what was going on she refused. Her husband was livid.
Not long after I read it, I ran across another, similar narrative (don't ask me where) about who the upper echelon are and what they've been doing.
