"People used to have to physically find you, take a picture of you, but now with computers, smartphones and so forth, everything can be found out. So you're crazy if you start trying to have a flirtatious affair using a computer or smartphone."
Recently, General Jeffrey Sinclair was charged with adultery and sexual assault against several female subordinates. And the former head of the U.S. Africa command, General William "Kip" Ward, was demoted and resigned after illegally spending $80,000 of government funds.
Summers says he's troubled by military leaders who abuse their authority.
"Well, I think commanders have to realize one how much power that they have, that people just jump at their every command. People want to please commanders because that's how they get promoted. You have to be wary, because there're people out there for whatever reason. They're looking over their shoulder trying to catch them. And any little mistake they've made may become vulnerable to criticism, ridicule."
Analysts say poor behavior by a few senior officers has negatively impacted the U.S. military and cast a dark shadow on one of America's most respected institutions.已退役的空军上校查克•萨默斯说,错误的决定和日益先进的科技使艾伦和彼得雷乌斯在劫难逃。
“以前,人们必须找到你,拍下照片(才有证据), 而如今随着电脑、智能手机等的普及,什么蛛丝马迹都可以被挖出来。 如果你试着用电脑或智能手机去调情,那真是脑子进水了。”
杰弗里•辛克莱上将近来被指控与几位女下属通奸并对另外几名女下属实施性侵犯。美国非洲统战司令部前部长,威廉•基普(Kip有睡觉的意思)•华德上将因非法挪用了8万美元的政府资金被降职,并于日后辞职。
萨默斯说他因为这些滥用职权的军事领导而感到困扰。
“我觉得这些指挥官必须认识到他们手中有多大的权利,下属对他们的每个命令都会绝对服从,因为下属想要取悦上司,从而得到晋升。你必须小心谨慎,因为有居心各异的人们在监督着,试图抓住你的小辫子。这些指挥官们的任何小错误都可能成为批评和嘲讽的焦点。”
分析师称,小部分高级军官的不良行为已经对美国军方造成负面影响,给这个美国最受尊敬的机构之一蒙上了一层阴影。
