It is expensive to get a seat. Then you are beholden to the folks who helped you get it. Thus the cycle starts. How about a jungle primary every time there is a reelection. Give voters a lot of choices.

Sorry, but military personnel, and particularly senior military personnel hardly have set the example for not engaging in sexual misconduct and have a history making it difficult for the victims to have their accusations fairly addressed.

SSG Diane R. - I agree. I had a female soldier work for me once who was a 71C (I believe) which was a small MOS where they provided admin support specifically for general officers. She was very attractive and athletic, as well as an accomplished civilian skydiver. She had worked for many generals and accompanied them on businees TDys. Unfortunately, she had numerous stories of the GOs making improper advances on her. And this was over 20 years ago, long before there was any real structure for or emphasis on reporting this type of thing. It's easy now to look back and say "well, she just should have reported it" but when you are an E4 or SGT and your boss is a 2-star general, there is such a mismatch in perceived power and authority that it can be quite intimidating.
