Milatary Rape Survivors Tell Congress: Military Justice System Is Broken

At the first Senate hearing into sexual abuse in the armed forces for a decade, victims said the system helped encourage predators in uniform, and urged senators to change the law to give survivors the same protections as civilians – namely an independent justice system.
