Moral Standards.

Back then I was a young academic officer in the IAF, and part of my job was visiting IAF bases and taking part in work meetings with our "customers" there. On one such trip I came to a big IAF base in the center of Israel, accompanied by two other officers from my unit. We were about to meet the Chief Technical Logistics Officer of that base, a lieutenant colonel in his 40s. Let's call him Dori. Just a side note: Dori was a family man - wife, kids, dog and all. As we all sat around the table in Dori's big office, a young soldier girl came in. She was wearing civilian clothes and had a big bag on her shoulder. The girl waved to Dori from the doorstep, and said something about her being discharged that day. She said she had just completed all her paperwork and was making the rounds saying goodbye to everyone. Dori smiled and said "well, good luck, we'll all miss you", and stuff. The girl then approached Dori, french-kissed him and left the room. We all sat there startled, but Dori didn't even notice. "Let's get started with the meeting", he said.
