>>> alcoholic female aide who felt comfortable enough with “Jimmy” to pass out drunk on his bed in his private quarters while the two were on an official trip overseas.
So what? In the absence of any proof improper relations were occurring on that bed while she occupied it, or that this occurred while she was on duty rather then on downtime, has it gotten to the point that drinking on your own time (even to excess) is now forbidden in the Corps? Are the prohibitionists back ?
You’re right- alcoholism by itself is not an offense punishable by the UCMJ, but conduct unbecoming an officer is. However, I am inclined to disbelieve this whole story of her passing out in Hoss’s room altogether. She was in there for more than sleep, if you get my drift. Perhaps this why ol’ Hoss has kicked his wife to the curb, according to my source. Adultery is a UCMJ offense, but enormously difficult to prove unless there is eyewitness evidence or one of the two parties admits it. I expect the aide (who if unmarried, cannot be charged with adultery), to receive a promotion for her silence. All this being done for “the good of the Corps” and to avoid embarrassing the VCJS andn by extension Obama/Biden.
