Martha McSally: “But as you have talked today, eloquently, about some of the options of how to address that, they are not easy options…”

I think it goes to a point you raised earlier Chairwoman, that increasing public awareness on all of these fronts is extraordinarily important.

Senator McSally's commander raped her. No one in her chain of command should have decided whether her case was prosecuted.

Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry that enslaves approximately 25 million men, women, and children world-wide through sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, and forced labor.

I strongly believe we cannot take responsibility away from the commanders due to the unique roles commanders play in culture, readiness, good order and discipline, and mission.
