SUSAN BURKE:
The military hides behind this notion that it is really really hard, almost impossible
to prosecute rape. But when you look at prosecution rates in the 2010 Department
of Defense reports, you begin with 2,410 unrestricted reports and 748 restricted.
What this means is they’ve already funneled 748 sexual assault victims into a
system that has absolutely no adjudication whatsoever. Then you take the 2410 that
have been reporter, of those they have identified 3,223 perpetrators. Now what
happens once you send a perpetrator over to command? Well, the command has just
completely unfettered discretion to do whatever it is they want. And what is it that
they do do? First off, they drop 910 of them, they just don’t do anything. Then of
the1,025 that they actually take some action, do they court martial them? No. Only
half of them, 529, actually got court martialed. The rest, 256 were subjected to
article 15 punishments, 109 to administrative discharges, and 131 to quote other
adverse administrative actions, whatever the heck that means. And then of the
convictions where they actually get jail time, when you work your way all the way
through the numbers, what you’re looking at, is that out of 3,223 perpetrators, only
175 end up doing any jail time whatsoever.

LOUISE SLAUGHTER:
I have been in congress for seven terms now, and every single term we have had
meetings with DOD and every time they tell us we’re going to be serious, we’re
going to take care of this, we’re going to stop this, zero tolerance. But the rhetoric is
not being turned into the reality of protecting our women, and in some cases men in
our military.
SUSAN AVILA SMITH:
So then they’re like, but we have this SARC and SAPRO program, it’s like oh great.
What does that do? They can strongly suggest to the military to do something. They
can’t order them, they can’t enforce it, they don’t back it up.

DR. KAYE WHITLEY:
In April of this year we will debut a social marketing campaign as part of our
prevention strategy.
ANU BHAGWATI:
It’s ludicrous, it’s 2011 and we have posters that say wait until she’s sober, I mean
it’s remarkable that that’s allowed to pass in today’s military.
