Anybody remember the Tailhook Convention, where US Navy personnel were accused of assaulting women at a hotel? In Canada, the RCMP have been sexually assaulting female members for decades. There's been very little justice, and unfortunately a lot of the women leave a job they love. Where bg money is involved, very little (if any) changes are made.
