NIghtline Reporting up to a dozen Secret Service Agents sent home

its sad that some folks in the SS think its more important to get laid than to protect their President.

good point-SS is supposed to be the cream of the crop. It doesn't matter who the president is.

btw the local radio station is playing some hilarious song parody with what sounds like that great fake orgasm scene in When Harry met Sally in the background

Bush, Reagan, Obama, Teddy Roosevelt...protecting POTUS is probably the most important job on Earth. One that should not be taken lightly.

Obviously Republicans!!! :lol:

a false dichotomy
nothing indicates those secret service agents were screwing around instead of doing their duty to protect the president
they are being criticized for how they spent their personal time in another country. other than acting cheap, what did those agents do that was wrong?

They embarressed Obama. That's what they did wrong.
 
SS agents are often described as top-level professional guards. In reality, they're merely run-of-the-mill bodyguards who do a mediocre job (which so far appears to be sufficient).

And here's the evidence. . .

A secret service salary is generally in the $45,000 to $75,000 a year range

Secret Service Salary

IN other words, less than pennies. I can't imagine any sensible individual who would risk his life (i. e. take a bullet for anyone) for such petty compensation.
 
no, they embarrased the USA.

To suggest that this incident embarrassed the USA is equivalent to suggesting that a dropping a grain of sand into a pool of sludge made it look ugly.
 
My first instinct is to say, if I was forced to guard that little turds life I would need stress relief too but the reality is these guys are supposed to be professionals and this kind of behavior is completely unacceptable.

Exactly how does soliciting sex in exchange for $$ compromise one's professionalism when their job is something entirely different?

True, anyone who pays for sex is a cheap low life, but that doesn't necessarily mean his/her job performance is compromised.

It is.

However, it doesn't look like the SS agents failed to do the latter.
 
no, they embarrased the USA.

No...they 'embarrassed' themselves and then only if they feel guilt or shame over their actions or behaviors. They only "embarrass" others if they choose to own their actions and behaviors and why people do that is fricken ridiculous.

Its comical this he's blown up to such proportions. We as a people are so amazingly eager to make everything a scandal. On the great scale of things this is...nothing.

As much blame as possible has to be cast upon these agents, before someone starts with the, "it happened under Obama's watch", stuff.

This has more to do with the example that is being set for them by their CIC. He doesn't have to follow the rules, so why should these agents think that they have to.

I really don't think the CIC was on their mind when that young prostitute was undressing in their hotel room.

It is also hard to believe this was their first group rodeo. Some of these guys were of retirement age so has this sort of thing been a standard practice for decades?

Maybe, or did the I can do what I want because I work for the government mentality that has been fostered for the past three years cause this?

No it didnt....CEOs see k out prostitutes, Managers seek out prostitutes, garbage men seek out prostitutes...cops ...it managers, DBF moderator or two,
Every walk of life there are men that seek out Prostitutes and there always has been...remember the OLDEST PROFESSION apdst...to blame this on obama is as absurd as to say these secret service agents that are proven to have done just that should not be terminated for malfeasance.

You think that mentality has only been around 3 years? Try decades.

Yes, quite a few decades. It has been going on for pretty much as long as men have been attracted to women and as long as there has been money, there was probably some type of exchange system even before money was invented. I cannot say exactly how long Secret Service members have engaged in hiring prostitutes, but for the military, it goes way back. In more modern times, look at the Korean war and troops taking R and R to places like the Philippines. Then Vietnam, in the Philippines and in Thailand. For the most part, anytime that military forces have been stationed someplace where prostitution is legal, some have chosen to participate in it.

Six men have now lost their jobs over this. The White House has concluded that these men did not endanger the Pesident nor were the prostitutes allowed access to any sensitive or classified information. While I am no fan of the Obama White House, I do agree with their point of view on this issue. These men were fired because of the moral stance of their superiors, not because they failed to do their duty.

The military personnel have been stipped of their security clearances and will probably face some sort of legal actions. Considering the long history with the military and prostitution overseas, it is unjust to take actions because they engaged the services of prostitutes where it was legal to do so. Those who did violate curfew should be judged and tried soley upon their violation of an order, not for engaging prostitutes.

Prostitution is a moral issue. Also, there are no national level laws against it, all laws in the US pertaining to prostitution are at the state and local levels. It is not the Federal governments job to enforce any moral code upon individuals.

Ahh the sweet, sweet smell of right wing desperation.

You and your ilk will try to politicize this. (Grassley already is. Hell even Karl Rove is smart enough to know that is a stupid idea)The American public is smart enough to know better. Well, except for right wing Fake News Sheep who buy into this steamy pap. They won't matter come election time.
