In the military it would still be "illegal" for my husband to cheat on me because it's "conduct unbecoming of an officer." He'd lose his job and get court marshaled. But I do agree with that, actually. Only because when you're in the military you're representing something that is beyond yourself. I wouldn't say that should be the law of the land though.
Military personnel don't have the same Constitutional rights as civilians. This concept dates back to the very founding of the nation, and an officer's "commission" as a Gentleman is one of the ways in which the old British nobility/monarchy concepts were preserved in the nascent United States (the other being elements of the Judiciary, in which they retained the British Common Law as a basis for both precedent and procedure, which is why judges have a title of nobility and are called a Court, "Your Honor", akin to "Your Highness").
Interesting information, thanks!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
