Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum have both singed The Pledge against all kinds of things, including pornography, spousal infidelity, women in combat roles, marriage equality and lots of other things. It includes the words:
Support for the enactment of safeguards for all married and unmarried U.S. Military and National Guard personnel, especially our combat troops, from inappropriate same-gender or opposite-gender sexual harassment, adultery or
intrusively intimate commingling among attracteds (restrooms, showers, barracks, tents, etc.); plus prompt termination of military policy makers who would expose American wives and daughters to rape or sexual harassment, torture, enslavement or sexual leveraging by the enemy in forward combat roles.
It seems an odd pledge, to me, for many reasons. But, just the quote above, which implies that sending men to be enslaved, tortured, raped or otherwise is totally fine.

I'm interested to see how many of the other ones will sign this awesome pledge during the primaries and then pretend they didn't know what it meant in the general.
