Is this wrong? Are we not supposed to do this?

Navy chaplain fired after he’s caught on video having sex at a New Orleans bar





WASHINGTON — A Navy chaplain was fired last month from his post at a Marine Corps command after he was caught on video having sex with a woman at a pub in New Orleans, USA TODAY has learned.

The Marines fired Navy Capt. Loften Thornton on March 20 for “loss of trust and confidence,” said Marine Lt. Col. Ted Wong, a spokesman for Marine Reserve. Thornton had been chaplain for Marine Forces Reserve based in New Orleans.

Wong declined to discuss what prompted the Marines to fire Thornton, a Navy chaplain since 1992. But two Defense officials confirmed that authorities were examining video that shows Thornton having sex with a woman at the Crown & Anchor Pub, a British-themed tavern west of the French Quarter. They were not authorized to speak on the record because the case is under investigation.

The owner of the pub said he was cooperating with authorities but could not comment on the investigation. The bar is a five-minute drive from the Marine Reserve facility.

There's no story if it went down at Cafe Lafitte in Exile.

What kind of a moron gets videotaped having sex in public? He should be court martialed just for stupidity alone.

Isn't this type of behavior encouraged in FQ bars?

I think a big part of this is the fact he was a Chaplain having sex in public.

Honest question: How does a military officer get "fired"?

He gets relieved of his job or responsibilities. Disciplinary action may or may not follow.

Could it lead to a "Conduct Unbecoming" charge that gets a Dishonorable?

Seems silly to be in the military without responsibilities. Usually have to be elected to get that kind of gig.
