A video posted by a female U.S. Marine about sexual assault in the military rocketed across the internet and into a Pentagon press-briefing room Friday. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin promised to take additional steps to stop such violence. But as Nick Schifrin reports, sexual assault in the military continues to rise and individual families continue to be ripped apart.

We have a society that has tolerated the "boys will be boys" stuff too long. Especially when the "boys" are the backbone of the football team, or something like that. A "good boy" who commits a rape is no longer a good boy, he is a rapist. We need to start this at the middle and high school levels. It is all part of the downgrading of the morality of American society.
