San Antonio Express-News Editorial: Hagel misses important opportunity
A San Antonio Express-News editorial writes:
There is much to admire in what Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is imposing on the military to stop the epidemic of sexual assaults in the ranks.

These cases must be handled in a more expert process that does not make victims’ rights as secondary as they have become.
