Even though other women came forward with similar accusations, no one was ever prosecuted. She recalls that when she told her commander what had taken place, “I was told, ‘that’s what you get’.”

Senators deleted defense bill provision intended to combat violent extremism in the military

By JOHN M. DONNELLY | CQ-Roll Call | Published: February 8, 2021 WASHINGTON (Tribune News Service) About a month before rioters, including some with U.S. military training, stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, lawmakers deleted from the annual Pentagon policy bill language that would have explicitly made violent extremism a crime in the military code of justice. The provision in the defense bill, which the House had agreed to, would have barred violent acts that are either motivated by bigotry or designed to “influence, affect or retaliate against the policy or conduct of the government of the United States.” It would also have criminalized attempting to commit such acts, soliciting others to do them or conspiring to accomplish them.
