In an infantry unit, that is an all male unit, the company commander and a platoon leader are ****ing, ya think it might cause problems? Probably, huh?
First of all, if they are having an affair with each other, then it isn't an adultery issue, it is a fraternization issue. Well, I guess it could be an adultery issue also, if one or both was married, but it wasn't actually what I was referring to. But it proves that there are already rules in place to cover such issues.
But since I was specifically talking about adultery, I was referring to the fact that it takes at least three parties (possibly 4) for a case of adultery, since for adultery to take place a person must be married and having sex with someone else who isn't their spouse. Therefore, in most instances concerning adultery, where two people are involved in the case from the same unit, especially a combat unit, the likely scenario is actually one of the guys from the unit is sleeping with another guy's wife. Therefore, you would have two people from the same unit involved with the situation. One would be subject to the UCMJ, while the other could actually be viewed as more of a victim. It could cause major problems if the married guy found out that his fellow Marine/Soldier was sleeping with his wife, and took matters into his own hands rather than waiting for the chain of command to handle the guy.
