Would you say it is a predominant reason that discourages victims from reporting, or is it just incidental and occasional?

How often, I think this point is critical, are victims or survivors, in effect, threatened with prosecution themselves?

Wouldn't you agree that right now there is that lack of credibility and trust?

Well, you should talk to some parents. You've talked to your wife. You should talk to parents--I don't know whether you have children--who have to pay their children's cell phone bill.

Not all spectrum is created equal, so to speak.

the military has a great opportunity to teach some lessons to the civilian world.

I think indicates the passion and zeal that needs to be brought to this problem by the commanding officers.

the crime of sexual assault sullies the good name and honor of the greatest military in the history of the world.

It is very, very difficult to make the kind of judgments about whether to charge someone with a crime.

Those kinds of rights are basic to fairness and to trust, it seems to me.

We know from the numbers, though, and you do, that there is a lack of reporting.

You must change the culture, and you have to make commanders more accountable for having command climates that ignore sexual harassment and assault.

Some spectrum is the equivalent of beachfront property; and others, less desirable.

You will be charged with drinking. You will be charged with adultery. You will be charged with conduct unbecoming.

You can't have reporting--you can't have prosecution without reporting.

Success is going to look like this. More reports of rape, sodomy, and assault, and less incidents of rape, sodomy, and assault.
