#8  From what I understand, John Profumo was an honorable man who made a mistake. According to Wikipedia "After his resignation, Profumo began to work as a volunteer cleaning toilets at Toynbee Hall, a charity based in the East End of London, and continued to work there for the rest of his life."

#6  In Harry Harrison's satirical 1965 SF novel Bill the Galactic Hero, the eponymous "hero" serves aboard a warship named the Christine Keeler.
The novel also features much drunkenness, pilfering, and official incompetence, but very little actual heroism.
