"A battalion’s worth of soldiers grievously assaulted every week cannot be allowed to continue. Standing by is unacceptable. This moment calls for decisive action, change and reform. Our military leaders must take a stand and actively lead from the front. Congress also has a responsibility to actively and aggressively demand cultural and legal reforms that our military has proven unwilling or unable to enact on its own. Our defenders deserve trained prosecutors making legal determinations. Our troops deserve to work in an environment where they can trust those with whom they serve. It is time that we hold our military accountable for fulfilling its promise to provide the best to those who choose to fight for our country."
Col.
Scott Jensen, USMC (Ret), CEO of Protect Our Defenders, in
this USA Today op-ed.
