If you've watched enough, you've watched it all.

We need to feel self-righteous sometimes. That's why we're all pretending to be appalled at the Secret Service prostitution fiasco in Columbia.

(If you haven't heard it, you need to come out from under that rock once in a while. Washington Post, "Secret Service scandal broadens"

Was it a good idea? No. It potentially compromised the president's safety.

Was it immoral? Up to you.

Sex is part of armed service[1]. Most military men (not all) fully enjoy the company of women they otherwise have no commitment to.

Pretending it doesn't exist won't make it go away, it just makes for more family-friendly war movies (now isn't that an oxymoron). And it makes us feel superior.

Tomorrow I'm going to post a true story from a WWII vet I knew. It doesn't have any prostitutes in it, but you may like it anyway.

BTW, I'm really disgusted with the way the Left and Right are treating each other. They pounce on the most trivial matters and forgive the most egregious (like Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen's comment that Ann Romney "hasn't worked a day in her life" - I'm left to midlin' and can't fathom how that came out of the mouth of a Democrat, and I'm even more flummoxed at how liberals are all making kissy face over it; my guess is everyone is reining in personal opinion for the sake of the election, which means we're never really going to know what anyone really thinks about anything. )

Human nature is like a reality show. If you've watched enough, you've watched it all.

I use that loosely to encompass those that carry weapons as part of their job.
