Talk Radio News Service reports:
In observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Martin Dempsey released a video message to DoD personnel Tuesday warning that “sexual assault is one of the worst crimes a person can commit.”
“It destroys the bonds of trust and confidence that lie at the very heart of our military. We must keep doing whatever it takes to eradicate it,” Hagel said.
The minute and a half video included both men addressing the issue of sexual assault, with Dempsey adding “we must stay committed to keeping our honor clean. We must strengthen our bonds of trust with each other and with the American people.”
