USA Today: Military chiefs to face tough sexual assault questions
USA Today reports:
WASHINGTON — Military service chiefs who will testify Tuesday about their plans to deal with the burgeoning crisis of sexual assault in the ranks will face a group of female senators determined to change a culture they call demeaning to women.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has proposed one of the most sweeping overhauls to the military justice system to deal with sex assault, made clear that only action, not pronouncements, will be acceptable.
“Enough is enough,” Gillibrand, the New York Democrat who chairs the Armed Services Committee’s personnel subcommittee, told USA TODAY in a statement. “Words are not enough. It is time to act.”
