ELSEWHERE: More Evidence Of The Military’s Sexual Assault Problem

Sexual assault is a significant problem within our military, as Lauren Rambo discussed earlier this year. And two recent events serve only as reminders of just how big the problem is. Wired recently acquired a copy of an Air Force brochure on sexual assault that states that, in some cases, it’s better to submit to the attacker. And earlier this week, the Air Force’s chief of sexual prevention was arrested and charged with sexual battery. The Pentagon estimates that 26,000 cases of sexual assault occurred within the past year.
