this is a crime, sexual assault is a crime, and we have to address it as such.

What State do they report it, and are you positive that that reporting takes place?

I think our men and women who are serving us, they have a mission, and they have a job to do. They should not have to worry whether today is going to be the day that they are sexually assaulted.

We have brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, and when this happens, it is the risk of personal violation of somebody.

General Amos, you put it best. You said this is a sacred trust that we have in front of us and that we have an obligation to get this right.

We have a commander problem, and so my question is we ask a lot of our commanders, in many cases, they are in the middle of fighting a war at the same time.

How does it make you less of a commander to not have full responsibility for this?

You feel confident every marine from here to there has been fully immersed in that culture to tell them no more?

Are there any documents that they sign off, 'Hey, I have read this? I understand the serious nature of this.'

I am concerned about how the victims are continually being treated, and why are they not reporting at a larger number than they are right now?

Hopefully, that revenue will be enough to cover and accomplish several goals. One is--of course, is enough to purchase the spectrum from the broadcasters themselves to fund FirstNet, and, hopefully there will be enough left to provide…

The individuals here, do you see reports like that that this has, in fact, been done?
