Secret Service Scandal Spreads to US Military as Well
The investigation into alleged Secret Service misdeeds in Columbia has now spread to include possible US Military involvement. The current count includes 11 Secret Service agents and 5 military personnel that were at the hotel where the president’s advanced security team was staying. The incident reportedly occurred this past Thursday

The Secret Service says it has placed 11 employees on administrative leave for misconduct in Colombia, where they were working on security ahead of President Barack Obama’s trip to the South American country.
The agency’s assistant director says the employees were both special agents and Uniformed Division officers. None were assigned to directly protect Obama himself.
Some experts are calling this the biggest scandal to rock the agency, which is now under the Department of Homeland Security. Eleven agents are now on administrative leave pending the outcome of the official investigation.
Fox News is reporting also, “Secret Service scandal in Columbia widens to include 5 service members”
Military officials said Saturday the service members violated curfew and “may have been involved in inappropriate conduct …alleged to have occurred in the same hotel where the recalled U.S. Secret Service agents were staying.
The service members were assigned to Joint Task Force Summit of the Americas in support of the Secret Service.
General Douglas Fraser, commander of USSOUTHCOM, said he is “disappointed by the entire incident and that this behavior is not in keeping with the professional standards expected of members of the United States military.”
While the White House insists that the president’s safety was never compromised, it certainly raises questions about the integrity of the Secret Service and has raised concerns that in a foreign country, there is an increased chance that agents could be put into compromising situations involving potential terrorists.
Today, CNN interviewed an author that alleges that in recent years, the Secret Service has become increasingly lax concerning security matters.

With additional charges surfacing over US Military involvement, the situation must be thoroughly investigated to ensure that US national security has not been compromised.

What an utter non story, US military and Government employees got laid for a price. How shocking, US personnel using the services of those engaged in the oldest profession known to man. It has been going on since time began.
…”The legacy of an administration out of control is once again rearing its ugly head,”…
I got news for you Joseph military men of every administration gladly paid for it in every country on the face of the earth. It is common knowledge, even mothers know their babies paid for it.
To try to make the jump of logic that this has anything to do with the present administration is hypocrisy of the first order. I’ve seen you do it before, and I would imagine I will see you do it again, but you can’t shit me, you are trying to look good on a holier than thou issue and your credibility has taken a huge crap. You have fallen to the ethic level of the MSM, which is dance in any blood possible to make themselves appear relevant.
While I agree that this administration is screwed, prostitution is not a sign of it any more than it is a sign of any other administrations failings, it happened under every administration without exception.

“Everybody does it! Don’t feign such shock, you goodie-twoshoes hypocrite!” I believe the above is known, among other things, as projection.
“Mommmmmmy, I was just doing what all my friends were doing.”
The mindset of the entire commie-lib left is the assumption that everyone else has an absolute absence of a soul and a moral compass just they do. Prison is chock full of amoral and sociopathic animals who assume they are innocent by reason of want/need/upbringing, or just might-makes-right, “I am God unto myself, and whatever I deem righteous unto me is just fine.
The reasonings of a moral vacuum given voice from a morally perverted end of a nation.

Do you have a point?
Do you deny the truth of what I have said?
At what point do I give license to immoral behavior?
Nice rant, basically incomprehensible, but delivered with elan.

This is a story about lack of leadership and discretion! While boys may be boys, the ability to understand the need to show restraint in a high profile situation is essential to mission success!

Don’t for an instant try to impugn my ability to understand you pompous ass, Boys have been boys all throughout history. Using that as a plumb would make every administration lacking in leadership and discretion. Own your hypocrisy or don’t bother replying, because you are still losing ground. OH Yeah, I forgot !!!!!

I will discuss this no further, you sir have erred, you haven’t the character to admit it, and instead cast dispersions on my understanding and character. Much as the liberals do, is it not?

Hookers and hookees…like a comedian said,”room service” only he referred to bugging of rooms not what was done in them. This is not Watergate. The entire term has been Liargate and Corruptiongate and “I-did-not-say-that-because-it-has-been-scrubbed-from-the internetgate and I am not HarrisonJBounelgate and “What BJ I am straightgate”. Never trust a guy who frowns when his wife kisses him.

I guess the moral of the story here is that the agents shouldn’t have stiffed those prostitutes?
