One of the hazards of serving in the military oversees is the high risk of infidelity. Infidelity is dangerous enough at home, yet when it occurs in other nations, it is often more life-threatening than domestic occurrences. Affairs are life-threatening. If they do not threaten your life physically, they do so emotionally and spiritually. Not only are they dangerous for the adulterous spouse, they can also be dangerous for the lover or the resolute spouse. With affairs related to military service, just the suggestion of fraternizing can often end up getting people killed. In this story from the 1950’s, Kim Soo-im, a Korean woman was killed for having an affair with an American soldier. She was executed as a spy. It was found out later that no secrets had been exchanged, but that did not matter. This kind of story happens often in war time. If you have a spouse serving overseas, or you find your self serving overseas, added care must be taken to reduce the likelihood of infidelity. Your life and your spouse’s life may depend on it.

Adultery is a problem in many workplaces, including the military. In a recent story, Jacob Martinez went to trial and was found guilty of adultery and assault. He was found guilty and now faces the punishment for his actions. It is difficult to have a mixed environment without there being some danger of adultery. When the adultery concerns an officer, there is pressure put on them to resign rather than face a court martial. When the military has not clamped down on adultery problems have arisen, such as the incident in Romania involving Christopher VanGoethem. Although he went to trial for adultery, after an incident in Romania, the incident has led to some international repercussions between the United States and Romania. So adultery is not an innocent crime. Its consequences effect families, friends, careers and even nations. Adultery in the military is a significant problem that causes significant headaches for all those involved.
