By Syndicated Content By Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Pentagon’s top brass has voiced deep concern over legislation supported by most U.S. senators that would overhaul the military justice system for crimes like sexual assault, according to letters released on Tuesday by a senator critical of the reform effort. But the senior U.S. military officers, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Mark Milley, acknowledged failings in addressing sexual assault in the ranks. They did not endorse new remedies in lieu of the legislation. Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has spearheaded the legislation taking U.S. military commanders out of the decision-making process about when to prosecute sexual assault cases in the military. Her bill would do the same for other major crimes, turning such decisions over to trained prosecutors.
