Those in President Obama’s detail seem more focused on partying than adhering to their job responsibilities. Reports say three Secret Service agents on President Obama’s detail with protecting Obama in Amsterdam this week were sent back to the U.S. and put on administrative leave after they were found drunk and getting wasted on Sunday. The three agents, who are members of the Counter Assaul† Team, allegedly got intoxicated at the Huis Ter Duin Hotel. According to the report, members of the hotel staff contacted the U.S. Embassy after they found one Secret Service agent drunk and passed out in the hallway. The embassy contacted managers at the Secret Service to notify them about the behavior of their agents. Their behavior is said to be in breach of a new rules enacted after the 2012 incident when agents got drunk and brought prost¡tutes back to their hotel rooms prior to the president’s economic summit. The New rules ban Secret Service agents from drinking for the ten hours prior to an official assignment. The three agents should have began their duty on Sunday, when they were briefed on Obama’s trip, so drinking on that day would have violated the new rules enacted after the 2012 incident. President Obama arrived in the Netherlands on Monday for the first leg of a week long trip that will take him through Europe and to Saudi Arabia.
