Defense secretary, Blue Angels highlight Naval Academy graduation
WBALTV.com reports:
During his speech Friday, Hagel said new officers need to lead the fight against sexual assault and help people in the military facing mental health issues.
Hagel told the graduating class that students have seen how sexual assault can destroy trust and confidence at the heart of the military. He told them to use their experience to make sure everyone is treated respectfully.
In the past year, the academy has seen the prosecution of three academy football players accused of sexually assaulting a classmate. Charges against two were dropped, while the third was acquitted.
