This article is about the major sex scandal among 11 secret service men and 10 army personnel. In America, all prostitution is illegal. However, in Chartagena, it is perfectly legal, unless the girl is under age. So for us, it seems like a huge deal and they should be fired, which makes sense because what they did was wrong. However, to the people there, it seems normal because this sort of thing happens often. Also, it seems like a big deal to us because instead of doing their job, they were drinking and having sex with random women.

I think that the men who were involved in this need to be fired. They obviously don't do their job properly, and if I were the president I would be extremely upset. Also, the fact that they took advantage of a country's laws being different than ours for their own wants is selfish and disgusting. I think that since it's illegal here, then they should be charged with whatever it would be for if they had done it here.
Actually, in some states, prostitution is legal in the US. Prostitution is done at a state level, not a national level. While I do agree with you that the men need to be fired, it's not uncommon, and not illegal in some states, like Nevada. The men knew what they were doing was wrong in the sense that it effected their job; however, it was not against the law or wrong for where they were.
ReplyDeleteI think it was pretty disgusting as well and it is embarassing for the president they should probs be fired or get some kind of punihment even though it is legal there it still looks bad on the US
