: You raised a good point about whether or not

: the matter, I can see you're right. They
: knew each other, but not to any degree of
: closeness. I’ve been as guilty as anyone
: about spreading the notion of a close
: friendship between the two. Others posted

The censure on committing adultery with the wife of a fellow officer makes me wonder if the military thought it was okay with the wife of an enlisted man.
