nation to come forward with a rape claim. >> i thought with my longevity, my years of service that the leadership would view me as a very credible person, believe me, and support me. that's not what happened. >> reporter: lieutenant colonel james says her attacker resigns because the state does not have the legal authority to court-martial soldiers for criminal offenses. general hoyer says he can punish offenders financially by stripping them of their pensions and issuing letters of reprimand, which is what he says he did after an investigation found james' perpetrator was physically and sexually assaulting junior officers. >> i'm pleased that the town hall is having an impact. i'm frustrated that we're still dealing with this issue. i'm frustrated that there are people that take advantage of other people that impacts our organization's ability to do the things we're supposed to do, be prepared to take the nation to war or to respond to a disaster that may occur. so i think my frustration lies more with as much as i think we're having an impact here and we've got people coming forward, is it coming fast enough? is change coming fast enough? >> if you want to learn more
