As a human billboard of shame, Flinn would be a constant reminder that women who fall in love with the wrong men will not be permitted to drop bombs, conventional or nuclear. Civilization must have its restraints, and it's essential, in the name of all that is decent, to certify that a pilot who may be ordered to carpet-bomb civilians be sexually innocent. However, national security considerations dictate that this moral code be applied judiciously. Recall those dark days in October 1962, when the fate of humanity was hanging by a thread of rational decision making, missiles were primed for flight and explosion, the end of the world was at hand and an adulterer had his finger on the retaliatory nuclear button. Apparently, as President Kennedy demonstrated, men can handle adultery much better than women.
Men have needs that the military has long recognized.
Even the Revolutionary Army, which authored the current code banning adultery, didn't expect it to be enforced. Prostitutes were among the most loyal supporters of our first fighting men. We've all heard Flinn's sad tale about there not being a proper social life on the base. Hey, she's not the first lonely soldier. I'll bet if she had just quietly gone off base and purchased some quick meaningless commercial sex, her commander would have looked the other way.
