The investigation began after a female trainee accused a drill sergeant of sexual assault, and it expanded after that allegation \u201crevealed indications of additional allegations of sexual misconduct involving trainees and drill sergeants,\u201d the Army said in a statement. It declined to say how many drill sergeants are now under investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ll withhold judgement until the investigation is complete because I have doubts about the situation. Like I said, the Army trains tankers and infantrymen at Benning. Traditionally those jobs were strictly for men. Women didn&#8217;t go to basic training at Fort Benning. I suspect this is the result of culture shock for one or more of the people involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of folks have sent us links to the news that more than one drill &hellip; <a title=\"Fort Benning drills investigated\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=74151\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Fort Benning drills investigated<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[232],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-army-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74151\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
