As the resident liberal, don't you think you should have made that:
"If Johnny is humping Jeffrey, who is married to Freddy, you've got a morale problem - and it's very likely that it won't be limited to Johnny and Freddy."

Hey, soldier ... I didn't ask, so you don't have to tell.
Actually, I suppose that is just as true.

If you could lie to your wife and cheat on her for nothing more than a bit of fresh pussy, what's to stop you from lying to your superiors and betraying your country for a stack of fresh money?

I think that's a stretch and a half. You'd laugh your ass off - at least, I
HOPE your ass off - if somebody suggested that a shoplifter is more inclinded to committ murder. I've heard that logic before in a discussion on the same issue. It was offered up by a Lieutenant Commander who was a pooh-bah of some sort in the LDS church. Of course, he also thought that drinking coffee was sinful. It reminds me of the old George Carlin routine about mother's milk leading to heroin addiction.
The facts don't support that premise - on any given military base on any given day there are all kinds of folks fucking all kinds of other folks who are married to persons other than the fuckers in question - but I guarantee you that the same sinful adulterers wouldn't dream of committing espionage. The arguement that an adulterer is more vulnerable to blackmail has more credibilty than this one.
