New York Times Editorial: Cut the Strings to George III
Maureen Dowd of the New York Times writes:
On the Hill, the brass argued that they could not retain “cohesion” and “order” if commanders were not calling all the legal shots. But Nancy Parrish, the president of a victims’ rights group, told a chilling story about a young woman in a combat zone who had tried four times to report a soldier she says raped her. She saw him coming toward her truck as she got ready for a mission and recalled her feelings: “I shut down inside. I was lead driver in our convoy, and I kept hoping to hit an I.E.D. after that.”
As Parrish sardonically asked, you call that “unit cohesion” and “good order and discipline”?
