Naval Academy Ex-Academy - April 11, 2008

If it was prior to her service commitment , then the Navy only bring harm on itself by bring up old water under the bridge , She obviously passed her Security Background check to get into the Navy , If our offices failed in this check why should she be punished for it now , Sound like the Navy should be a little more thorough in its efforts to sustain it credibility in its choices of personell, or come forward and say we knew of her past but chose to allow this young American an opportunity to prove her worth and commitment in the service of securing America's freedom. She apparently was good for the Navy while active, she earned 19 years of her keep. Let her voluntarily retire her position and fade in to the night. Go after the higher officials of office,if they used Tax payer money for such services, other wise don't waist America's time with what in many ways we could all be guilty of , We all have done something for something that could be viewed as morally wrong or illegal. Get over it paper chasers , Get on with the development of America not the degradation of America
