Your efforts in this regard have much broader implications that will actually strengthen the 'good order and discipline' of our military, which I believe accounts for much of the resistance that S967 is receiving...Protecting the victims of these abuses and restoring American values to our military culture is long overdue.”
“If we do not suffer a loss all the way to the end, it will wait for us. It wonâ€™t just dissipate and disappear. Rather, it will fester, and we will experience its sorrow later, in stranger forms.”
