The U.S. Army detail assigned to Vice President Mike Pence’s communications team has been re-assigned for bringing women back to their hotel in Colombia, according to three U.S. defense officials.

The soldiers didn’t register the women when they brought them in, the officials said.

The soldiers were in Colombia in connection with Pence’s trip there earlier this month, the officials said. It's not clear if Pence was in Colombia at the time of the incident, but his staff became aware of the problem when they saw the soldiers bringing the women into the secure area on security camera video.

The soldiers — who were senior members of the service, according to one of the officials — were brought back to the United States and removed from the White House detail once the allegations surfaced.

3. Oh my God...

Poor poor Mike Dense.... the whole affair may traumatize his lily white fake Christian ass.

Better ask Jesus what to do with the awareness of this sinful activity Mikey.

"Let's ask Mikey, he hates everything!"

5. Colombia AGAIN?

Didn't some of Obama's Secret Service guards get in trouble there for the exact same reason?

8. That was my first thought too.

"What is is it about Colombia"?

Some of the sordid details from back then - https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-scandal-colombian-woman-describes-night-of-carousing-with-agents/2012/05/04/gIQAcwyi1T_story.html

11. Mine also. Bigger surprise, though, is actually approving of a Pence action.

10. Right!

6. Truth be known one of one of the girls was for Pence haha !!

Back in the day....(1960's) free time is personal time..having a guest was ok.

Just like IN. Christian Congressman Mark Souder.. he resigned because his affair was exposed...

[Bob Loblaw]

14. I still think

it was an ambitious Marlin Stutzman that squealed on Souder.

16. I don't care he like many other Republican do gooders are hypocrites.

We had a very good Democratic challenger in the then 3rd district and would have won that seat if this would have came out during the campaign.

[Bob Loblaw]

18. I was merely making an observation

I agree with your assessment of the candidate, he's an acquaintance of mine. But as unfortunate as it is I don't think the voters of the third district are discerning enough to vote for a good candidate with a D after his or her name no matter the shortcomings of the opponent.

7. We can't have his detail guys

9. Manafort pick

Mr. Purity.

Especially the FAKE hypocritical shitty kind of christian purity.

13. Oh, yeah

(Fake) X-tian + corporate tool. The perfect combination for a puke candidate.

17. I suppose that bringing woman back to the hotel might have been a security problem.

If any of the service members are married - or if the woman are married - adultery remains a criminal offense under Article 134, UCMJ. I appreciate that it seems an anachronism but an offense nevertheless.

Service members are held to a different standard than civilians. After all, not showing up for work or telling off the boss are not a crimes in the civilian sector but are in the military.
