Most morally mature people would agree that adultery is deplorable. But should it be against the law? The Army says yes. The Army is wrong. The solemn vows of matrimony should not quickly or easily be flouted, but punishing those who break them by firing them is both excessive and antiquated.
The issue arises in the case of Army Gen. Kevin Byrnes, who was relieved of command on Aug. 8. The Army is not releasing any details about the case, but Byrnes' lawyer says the general was fired following an investigation into allegations that he had been involved in a romantic affair.

YOU CAN TAKE the man out of Teaneck and, apparently, you can take the Teaneck out of the man. The borough known for diversity and tolerance is the hometown of Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Pace made headlines when he told The Chicago Tribune editorial board that he viewed homosexual behavior as "immoral," akin to adultery, and would not want openly gay and lesbian soldiers serving in the military.

You cannot resp...

I was drawn to a story in The Washington Post on Monday that began: Congressional Republicans still seething from last years repeal of the militarys dont ask, dont tell policy are hoping for a progress report Th...
