Lloyd Austin Confirms Military Open to Changing Way it Handles Reports of Sexual Assault
On 5/27/21 at 3:05 PM EDT
Associated Press reported.
In remarks to the House Appropriations defense subcommittee on Thursday, Austin said, We must not be afraid to try new approaches, to change our minds so that we can truly and fully address the scourge of sexual assault in our force. Clearly, what we ve been doing hasn t been working. The number of sexual assaults are still too high, and confidence in out system is still too low.
Military leaders have acknowledged sexual assault as a big problem but never went forward with prosecutions out of the chain of command. They argued that it would impede on a commanders ability to lead and would not decrease the number of assaults.
As a case before the Supreme Court threatens Roe v. Wade and Democrats’ urgency grows, many activists believe the president needs to be bolder in defending reproductive rights.
There is no one formula for victory in the Democratic mayoral primary and the top eight candidates are running vastly different campaigns. The popularity of each candidate’s message and chances of victory depend not only on the strength of their personal appeal to voters but also their campaign infrastructure – including the tacticians, advisors, consultants, and campaign staff members who mostly go unseen but whose work informs the candidates’ policies, positions, fundraising, advertising, and public appearances.
As to be expected, consultants, in particular, are having a lucrative year supplying the mayoral candidates with all manner of advice. The more well-resourced campaigns are spending hundreds of thousands, if not millions, on firms and individuals helping them hone their pitch. Leaner campaigns have had to be more creative as they try to curry favor with the electorate with fewer campaign professionals.
