DOD Tolerates Rape

by Jim Fausone
Veterans Disability Lawyer

A group of former military members are suing the senior leaders of DOD claiming they have been slow to change the DOD culture. They claim the senior leaders are tolerating rape and harassment of women service members. The suit was filed this week and NBC reported the story this week. The problem has been discussed in report after report that has investigated the allegations.

The unique aspect of this story is that the women veterans have filed suit against the current and former Secretary of Defense. No one should tolerate this behavior and MST against men or women cannot be tolerated in a military force protecting a civil society.
