I'd be interested to know what action you would proscribe in the case of a young married officer who has repeatedly disobeyed orders in the field, is famous for misbehaviour off the field and has had a very public affair with a married woman that scandalises the press and produced a child. Apparently he is quite good at his job though. Should he be asked to resign his commission?
Two children, actually, the second died while an infant.
Ironic that it was one of Prince Harry's ancestors who suggested to said officer that his behaviour should be moderated.....
And I very much doubt whether this particular officer was given to drunken, naked carousing with the other members of his ships' companies.
