Not only did Bill cheat on his wife, but he lied about it to the American people, and was also accused of sexual assault.
It's like in the Air Force. If one of the pilots (or whoever) cheats on their wife, their career is pretty much over. It's considered illegal. "Conduct unbecoming of an officer" and all that. If our military members can't do it, there's no reason why our president should get a pass, IMHO.
To me the the rule for your air force officers seems grossly outdated as it is. I don't see the point of extending it to even more people.
I like it personally because it promotes the importance of good family life and gives off the idea that we want people with integrity for this sort of job.... since it is the sort of job that requires possibly having to kill ppl, etc.
"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."
