technically my bleep——US law DOES NOT give public employees any prerogative to violate foreign law of any sort. If they are traveling outside CONUS on official business they are absolutely subject to US law.
Read what I posted.
The memo refers to employees traveling to foreign countries where prostitution is legal.
The point of the memo is not to avail themselves even where it is legal. Exactly as has been the case with the military for decades.
Neither I nor the original article indicated that violating foreign laws was okay.
As for prostitution, you will find that all of those laws are at the state level.
