If Sergeant Robinson was willing to kill a fellow soldier over sex in a garrison environment, do you think he'd be a team-player when his life was on the line in combat? Really?

Pretty d@mn sure. People will do whatever they think will help keep them from getting killed.

I think it's disgusting that he killed this girl, might have raped her, I dunno, I hadn't heard that for sure, but there have been some godawful bastards in military history that were good at fighting the enemy.

So would Sargent Robinson have been a good soldier if this hadn't happened? I don't know, but I think we've had just as bad and worse that made good soldiers. And by "good soldiers" I mean someone who advances their nation's war fighting effort.

And putting him in a supervisory capacity over a female soldier is "creating temptation"?!?!?

Bill Clinton. Harvey Weinstein. Bill Cosby.

You get some of the bottom of the barrel in the military too. Again, if we could weed them out, we would, but we can't, so the only thing we can do is take other steps to keep them away from temptation.

So how do you feel about "gay" scoutmasters? Share your thoughts on this point.
