U.S. Secret Service Agents sent home for refusing to 'pay for play' in Colombia

Before president Barack Obama visited Colombia to seal the U.S./Colombia trade deal, secret service agents,

a group considered among the world's top professionals with regard to conduct and ability to protect and guard life, were sent back home to the United States for conduct unbecoming; allegedly, one of them failed to pay a prostitute for services rendered. Instead of keeping their discipline and ensuring the safety of an American president, especially while abroad, 12 secret service agents chose to get 'jiggy' with it, causing a national scandal - an embarrassing moment for the United States. 

What's the deal with the appearance of lack of discipline with regard to security for President Obama? Something seems odd about the few incidents that have placed an American president at risk. Although the president waits for the conclusion of an investigation of the incident in Colombia, armed dogs chasing cats while abroad, Obama said he'll be pissed if he learns the allegations are confirmed. 

This is politics, after all, and it may be possible that not all secret service agents have protecting [this] particular American president as a top priority. It would be no surprise to many supporters of the president if there is a lack of will to secure the president's safety as vigorously, and with as much commitment and dedication, as has been given to past presidents'. 

It's hard to believe the agencies claim that "the president's safety was not compromised", when the alleged acts clearly place their credibility and President Obama's life and U.S. diplomatic potency at risk.
