Vigorously prosecute offenders and hold commanders accountable for establishing zero tolerance policies. Policies. Mr. President , to say that general caseys response was disappointing, would be an understatement. I am convinced that if the military had heeded the concerns that i and others like senator mikulski raised back then, a decade ago, this terrible problem would have been addressed much sooner, saving many individuals from the trauma, the pain and the injustice that they endured.
