Everybody got his price
With that I mean ofcourse it depends from person to person what the unproper act actually is. Point is that you deviate from what your office, rank, profession, community is expecting from you.
For instance our Prince of the Netherlands, husband of our previous Queen, Prince Bernhard. Let me tell you what kind of guy that was;
From German heritage he fought the Germans as a Strike/Bomber Pilot during WW II. The queen has personally ordered that her son in law was not allowed to take active action during the raids to pave the ways for Normandie (D-Day). Under a false callsign he took part in numerous war-flights over war-time France. You can imagine what the Germans could have done with him in their propaganda-machine when he got captured alive in Nazi occupied territory. After the war he was present with the German Capitulation in Café “de Wereld” and signed on behalf of the Dutch royalty, and although he spoke German fluently he talked to them in English. He was an inspirator for major generations afterwards to enter aviation. That man is a Hero with a capitol “H”, and every aviator worshipped this guy and his attitude. He also pleaded whole his lifetime, till he died last year, for recognition of the role that the Polish Paratroopers played in retrieving British and American Paratroopers during operation ‘Market Garden’ near Arnhem in ’44 when things went wrong for them. He made it a death-wish by pronouncing that again the night before he passed away. The Polish units are getting their honors and medals after 60 years from the Dutch Government. He also stood up for ‘the Green beret’ the clolour of the berets that the Dutch commando’s wear. It’s a unique colour for the ‘commando’s’ since WWII and last year the Army brass decided that every soldier could wear that clolour and it was made the new standard colour for all Army units. On a military parade honoring the fallen comrades, the Prince was wearing the Green Commando Beret, making a statement that no one ever could made. The colour of the Green Berets remained after that only for real the Elite….
In the 70s the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was one of the airplanes that the RNLAF had in sight for adding to the Fighter inventory. The Prince accepted $1 miljon in bribes from the Lockheed factory and donated this $1 miljon to the World Wildlife Fund (his second goal in life besides Aviation). Congress found out and because of his Royal Immunity the only thing the Left Winged Parliament could do was take his uniform, medals and Military rank.
I guess you get the point that everybody got his price, whether you’re rich or poor, whether you’re from the street or a Royalty. It depends of the nature of the ‘indecent proposal’ and ofcourse your own conscience and finally the convidence (in yourself) that you can get away with it….
