Politico: Obama: Sexual assault ‘undermines’ the military
Politico reports:
President Obama decried military sexual assaults on Wednesday, using his first public remarks on the issue in months to make clear that, as commander-in-chief, he is committed to combating the issue.
“It undermines what this military stands for and it undermines what the Marine Corps stands for when sexual assault occurs within our units,” Obama said at Camp Pendleton, near San Diego.
The military must work “to stop these crimes of sexual assault to uphold the honor and the integrity” of the military, he said. “And that message is coming all the way from the top.”
