I am a Naval Officer who runs a large, diverse Program Office. If I get a BJ from an intern in my office I should be fired...you are prior military and know the rules, just as Bill did. There is no grey area.

Un huh, and both you and I know that these rules are essentially those of political correctness of the last 20 years or less. When I first served, 1967-71, there were almost no restrictions on personal contact except chain of command. The stories I could tell you from that time, whew!
Sure, Clinton ought to have done better, but since an intern is a political appointment, not a civil service career; it's both technically and legally different. Very stupid with hindsight.
There were a myriad of things Clinton ought to have been impeached for; but the Republicans didn't and wouldn't impeach over those things because they wanted those same avenues open to their guy, currently G. W. Bush.
You know, abuse of power, illegal wire taps, illegal military aggression against a sovereign foreign nation, accepting bribes in the form of junkets and book purchases. Oh, wait a minute, that last one is what congressmen do, not the president; never mind.
