Military Members on Pence Detail Reassigned for Bringing Women to Hotel
NBC News ^ | Aug. 24, 2017, 7:15 p.m | Courtney Kube

A previous version of this article identified the location of the incident as Colombia, based on information from three U.S. defense officials. A defense official later told NBC News that the incident occurred in Panama.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military detail assigned to Vice President Mike Pence’s communications team has been removed from White House duties after being caught on video bringing women back to their hotel in Latin America, according to three U.S. defense officials.

The service members — who were from the Army as well as one from the Air Force — didn't register the women when they brought them in, the officials said.

Again you personally are stating outright that adultery and fornication are not different (which is, after all exactly what I called you on) and that it is okay for you to assert that the personnel in question were cheating on a wife back home.

You also insisted that the women were prostitutes and you continue to be upset that other posters like myself on this thread want you to prove they were prositutes if you are going to say that.

You seem to worship a god that doesn’t care if the things that you say about other people are true or not.

I worship a God that is himself truth.

I never asked you to condone what happened. I admonished you not to continue lying about it.

If you do not have information that the men were married, stop insinuating that they were cheating on a spouse. If you do not have information that the women were hookers, stop insinuating that they were prostitutes.

Gossip might be fun for you, but it’s a sin too.

Now I will defer to those referenced posts that make sense, however there have been no referenced posts disputing the assertion.

Bottom Line, if he was a soldier being a solder, than it is on him. However, if the soldier was responding based on higher orders, it is on them.

Oh right. They were just nice girls who went with unknown men to their place if sleeping

Or they were long lost cousins

These officers regardless of who the women were took them to their sleeping quarters. They were detailed to protect the VP

Get over your own self

That’s the problem with generalizations

You nor I know even the great majority of soldiers. If you are suggesting that to be a soldier you must be undisciplined and react only in animal instincts I say to you you are wrong

Or they were college age girls who met athletic men in uniform.

Or they were girls from lower middle class families who met guys with a steady income.

Or they were girls from upper middle class families who go to clubs and look for good dancers.

I spent a lot of years in the military. You appear to have spent none.

Did you know that military men overseas marry women overseas a lot? And that it doesn’t generally start with money?

You keep trying to insist that the unauthorized presence justifies you making up adultery and prostitution.

While one or both of those are possible, they aren’t necessarily the case. That means that insisting that they must be absent further information is gossip.

Nowhere on this thread did I say such behavior was acceptable.

I told you to stop making additional things up.

You said it was a generalization...I spoke to the dangers of generalizations

Chill out. The fact that the sailors you knew were pigs is none of my concern..... They were not detailed to protect the VP

I did when I was overseas.
Other people did have affairs with girls at clubs.
Others were just good looking guys that attracted women wherever we went.

While there may have been fornication in these events, there wasn't prostitution.

You are even now insisting all women involved in fornication are prostitutes, and that it is wrong of me to want you to show evidence that money was involved.

This sure isn’t the first thin SS agents have been caught doing this. When will they learn? What would it take to educate them? Perhaps LOSING their jobs instead of being reassigned.

“WTF cares!!!!!”

Well, I care, since the SS must be in possession of classified info, e.g., the POTUS’/VP’s shedule, exactly where (room #, etc.) POTUS/VP is staying, strategies for protection, etc. These guys need to be above reproach when on assignment. Sheesh.

Adding to my prior post, the minute a SS agent does something like that he becomes a prime target for blackmail. Considering the info he has, that would be so dangerous.

“Wasn’t it Jesus who said “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone” “

And then he said, “Go and sin no more.”

He was NOT endorsing sin.

"Just register the damn women next time, ok?"

I suppose that would work fine if they all had security clearances.

I’m with ya. The same thing happened to me when I was deployed. I’ll spare you the details, but I ended up with sole custody of two daughters.

I ran into the judge in my case a month or so after my divorce was final. He bought me a beer and told me that infidelity was alleged in almost every one of the divorce cases he presided over. He also said that, of the allegations of infidelity that could be proved, women had cheated in almost 75% of those cases.
