The problem here is the captain broke the law. Prostitution is illegal in the P.I. We can argue whether or not it should be but the bottom line is; right now it is. A lot of the women involved in prostitution in the P.I. are sex-trafficked and aren’t prostitutes on their own free will. That is likely how the navy is looking at this.

Being retired military myself (31+ years) I don’t want commanders who decide which laws they will obey and which ones they will ignore, especially commanders of nuclear subs holding TS/SCI since they would be subject to blackmail. I’ve had several commanders over the course of my career that decided to break some laws to benefit their personal agendas, including a couple of CICs, and I prefer a boss that obeys the laws of the land. You either obey the law or you’re a hypocrite. The level of law you are allowed to break and it be “ok” isn’t in the eye of the beholder until it violates our constitution, then the lawgiver becomes the lawbreaker.

All rules are meant to be broken at some point. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to maintain my freedom.

For example: Islam is evil.

I could get jail time for saying that here.
