[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm, I have a news flash for all of you who are shocked by this -- it's been going on for a very long time! Secret Service agents and members of the US military have solicited from prostitutes for as long as their agencies have been around. The men who are involved can travel at a moments notice 365 days of the year, and or are sent to war or at to sea for months at a time. When and where do you think they are going to have their needs met?

I am married to a military officer and I traveled with Secret Service for years -- there is no scandal here, other than getting caught. I don't want to condone it but it is a casualty of their career and loneliness. If congressional hearings are scheduled, this will be devastating to many careers because of the number of people who have used prostitutes while traveling both abroad and in the US. [/quote]

Give me a break.  Just because a man is away from his wife/partner doesn't mean that he's going to use a prostitute.  He's not an animal.  If he's lonely, he makes friends.  He doesn't hire a prostitute.  These secret service agents weren't even gone that long so what's their excuse?  There is none other than their leadership has allowed a culture in which this type of behavior is acceptable.  They knew when they took these jobs that there might be significant travel and that prostitutes were off limits.  If that was problematic for them, they should get out of the service.  Sounds like it's time to clean house.  [/quote]
