| Gen. Dempsey, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff |
From Denny: After a damning report that revealed 26,000 sexual assaults just in 2012 alone, you would think someone over at the Pentagon would resign in shame.
After 3400 plus officially reported cases that actually went up the chain of command from a few brave commanders not willing to cover it up, there were only 190 of those 3400 plus sexual assaults and rapes that went to court. No one resigned in shame for this pathetic record.
Then a military jury found a man guilty of sexual assault and a general overturned their jury verdict because he didn't like their decision. After all, the jury was handpicked to give that general the not guilty outcome he desired and they dared to defy him. He didn't resign in shame because legally a superior officer can overturn a conviction.
Many senators in Congress are poised to take that legal right out of the military's hands. It should have been done 30 years ago when women were entering the military and military academies, suffering sexual assaults and gang rape at alarming rates. Most cases that were reported to commanders never went up the chain of command. The military cover-up culture was in full tilt mode then as much as today.
World's Greatest DAD lets the world know he is a man of many talents!
