And while in the Army, he certainly violated the UCMJ. He got caught, and he did the right thing by resigning.

My comment was about how liberals not to long ago attacked him. Conservatives defended him. Now conservatives are saying that because he had an affair he must be willing to lie to participate in a cover up. Liberals are arguing. Nothing I said there was factually inaccurate so I must not be wrong. Your argument does not dispute anything I have said. In fact it adds to my argument because you brought up the affair. Marriage infidelity does not mean that he would participate in a cover up. The 2 items are not related.
BigTex my comment was admittedly a generalization, it was not intended to be directed at anyone specific.
