Season 2 of ‘House of Cards’ takes on military sexual assault
The Military Times reports:
For at least the second time, an Air Force brochure that told victims of sexual assault “it may be advisable to submit than resist” has made it into a Hollywood story line.
Season 2 of “House of Cards” — Netflix’s blockbuster political drama released Feb. 14 — takes on the familiar topic of sexual assault in the military. There is a watershed moment when the issue makes national headlines followed by calls for reform to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Some want moderate changes and others call for a total overhaul — including an independent justice system.
Those in favor of an overhaul make their point with a brochure disseminated by the military advising victims to submit to a sexual assault rather than resist.
