Sex Crimes in the Army

Summary:
Lt. Col. Joseph Morse was accused of groping a woman lawyer in 2011 and is now being put under investigation. This Lieutenant was at a sexual assault conference and the female lawyer says that he touched her inappropriately in the hotel room. There has been an epidemic of sexual crimes in the army in the recent years that has come to light. A bill is now trying to be passed that the investigations for these crimes are researched more in depth and also that in some cases you can be stripped of your title if an incident like this happens to member of the army. The Pentagon does not want this bill to pass because they think that will take their power away. They think that they have trained professionals in that division that can deal with the cases better. There has been multiple reported incidences with higher army officials saying or doing sexual things and objectifying women and disrespecting them.

Analysis:
There is definitely a problem all over the world with sexual related crimes. It is not just a problem that is showing up in the Army, but everywhere. If a man that is that high in a position does something that is disrespectful to a woman, they should be stripped of all their titles and do not deserve to oversee others because they cannot even control themselves. The Army has a lot of protection on their men and they try to keep them from getting any punishment for their actions a lot of times because they have favoritism or they do not want to lose a valued member. This problem will only get worse if it does not get fixed or if it gets pushed to the side. These men need to realize that with great power comes great responsibility, not just to themselves but to the women that are also fighting for this country and have as many rights as they do.
