It is so said.Do we follow the old adage, guilty until proven otherwise. If that is the case then we can treat him as an idiot for the time being.
In the Army, unfortunately, action is taken after a prelim opinion is made. I am sure there is prima facie evidence or else they would not have taken action or reacted for that matter.
Must have.Yes. If he gave away information, then that would be a different case.
Or else, why take cognisance?
We can speculate, but those who are handling the case cannot speculate and will not talk. The media sniffs a story and then goes to town on half baked speculations.We can only speculate regarding this and still be woefully wrong.
Well, she was not a cheap prostitute. She was a high class and highly paid call girl, who was invited to great social dos. In 1961, Profumo met Christine Keeler, a London call girl,[2] at a house party at Cliveden, the Buckinghamshire mansion owned by Lord Astor.Thank you for the info. I did not know this. Prostitution is illegal and so was Bill Clinton's affair. In this case, both John and Bill knew what they were doing is illegal. Unless this woman was a prostitute we cannot club him in the same group as it may have been a honest mistake.
The army is weird by civil standards.So, I have a question. Of course if he gave away info during all this, he will be sentenced. If he smelt a rat beforehand and went running to the higher ups with the story, no damage was done, then would he be punished?
They take things seriously, especially on morals and security. Look at the number of Generals in the dock. Compare that with the politicians and bureaucrats! They get away with murder, while the Army man is booked before the country can react with horror!
To wit, imagine sections in the army act, where one can be booked and cooked for an act unbecoming of an officer or an act or omission prejudicial to good order and military discipline!
Can you define them or does it give great leeway to use it any way it is so desired?
What about Army Rule where your services can be terminated without reason except for a terse statement that the President is pleased to terminate your services!
But then that is why things move and not drag in the army.
And there must have been injustices also done in the bargain. Who knows?
