I want to hear what our SM can think of, ways to stop Sexual harassment, and do you think sharp Program works in the US Army.

The military as a whole needs to stop letting offenders off with light sentences. They need to start hold maxing offenders out and setting an example that if you conduct yourself in these ways your going to get hammered.
