B) Marital infidelity used to be career-limiting and to all intents career-ending for male officers in the UK forces. These days it is all about the effect on unit efficiency, a test which is gender-blind and subject to redress through the Service complaints process. My impression of the USAF is that it is still quite socially conservative. What evidence have you for your assertions about disparity of treatment in the contemporary services besides gender-stereotypical hand-waving ?
A - what evidence do you have to the contrary? This is a rumour network and who made you the truth police?
B. 32 years of military service watching plenty of 'career-limiting/ending' offences swept under the carpet if the person's profile and career trajectory was high. The same 32 years in Officers Messes seeing the continued disparity of treatment for playing away from home. Your impression of the USAF is yours but is in no way more valid than mine.
