Even in today's highly scrutinized and controlled environment, despicable action by young men continues. For the latest Air Force Academy scandal as reported on military.com, click here.
Also, in January, the Defense Department released a report stating that more than two-thirds of the sexual assaults reported at the military academies in academic year 2012-13 occurred at the Air Force Academy.
The annual report on Sexual Harassment and Violence at the Service Academies showed that the total number of sexual assaults reported was 70 at the Air Force Academy, the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., and the Naval Academy in academic year 2012-13. That was a decrease from 80 reported at the academies in the previous year. The Air Force Academy had 45 reports, the Naval Academy had 15, and West Point had 10 reports of sexual assault.Changing the culture in the military, even for cadets and midshipmen who are just commencing their careers, is proving highly problematic many years after women were fully integrated into the armed forces.
