The Washington Post<\/a> reports that after ruminating on the subject of sexual harassment for an entire day, Chuck Hagel has arrived at the totally unique conclusion that you need more training. Anyone who didn’t see that coming, raise your hand. Yeah, me, too.<\/p>\n

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Tuesday evening ordered the armed services to immediately \u201cre-train, re-credential and re-screen\u201d tens of thousands of military recruiters and sexual-assault prevention officers as the revelation of another sex-crime scandal rocked the Pentagon.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is going to spare no effort to address this problem,\u201d George Little, the Pentagon press secretary, told reporters Wednesday. Little said the public, lawmakers and military personnel \u201chave the right to be outraged\u201d about the Fort Hood investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oddly enough, in a link sent to us by Jerry920, NBC reports<\/a> that a woman who has been charged with sexual harassment at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX pleaded guilty;<\/p>\n

Staff Sergeant Emily Allen admitted to having a sexual relationship with a male technical trainee, attempting to have a sexual relationship with another man, and having or trying to develop social relationships with two female and one male technical trainees.<\/p>\n

“She pleaded guilty to having a relationships with all four of the technical school Airmen,” Lackland spokesman Brent Boller said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I honestly don’t understand the problem, really, I don’t. But, I’m pretty sure that taking time from training to teach hand and arm signals isn’t the answer. Like someone said in the comments in the other post, the training is already eight hours long. If a lieutenant colonel, a sergeant first class and an Air Force sergeant don’t understand that grabbing various women by the ass, turning your subordinates into prostitutes, and boinking your trainees is against DoD policy, I don’t think more training will fix that. Honestly. <\/p>\n

Ok, everyone who thinks any of that is acceptable behavior, raise your hand. Nope, me neither. And I’ve never had a sexual harassment slide show presentation. Never. I don’t think that the military needs to waste a minute on training people not to be perverts. Maybe they should keep them in the field five days a week like they did to us. Or separate the sexes, like they did to us.<\/p>\n

But training is exactly the solution employed by people with no leadership experience, so I guess we’ll go with that one instead of using some common sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
