Pentagon chief calls sexual assault a cancer in military

One of the resent it getting worse due to the lack of leadership taking that program more Seriously. Before I left in 2915, we had a very low support from our commander yet many dismissed the issue because it look bad for their evaluation. This problem must be enforced across the board especially during Basic& AIT. It is very sad to read about it yet we don’t hold officer accountable for Failure to support the SHARP Program. The only way this is going to stop is with a Re-Bust hard core in Basic & AIT, when arriving to their unit maintain it & reliefs commander who refused to support it.

This sort of thing has been going on since women were first introduced into the armed forces and is not likely to end soon esp with the trend for more and more positions opening to women. Sad situation.

Thank you for the share from military times.
