Tower was once a dedicated conservative, but when he threw in with ‘’Roe v. Wade’’, he steadily moved leftward. Like Bob Dull, another military figure, he broke the heart of his first wife.
That might be so, I know that Nunn hated him and used the adultery to sink his SecDef nomination. I don’t know if military service correlates with adultery as you seem to imply; I do know that military service correlates with patriotism (in my opinion) and aversion to military service correlates to many things...none of them related to patriotism.
