The shit storms just getting started for you boys still in:

I wonder if LTC Krusinski was current on all his quarterly and annual sexual assault prevention ppt's and briefs and online training.

Do you mean to say your previous instruction on the matter of sexual harassment, while sufficient to prevent overstep on your part, was not so successful for your superiors, who apparently maintain a deficiency undiminished by the instruction they gave you?

In other words, they know the subject well enough to teach it and enforce it, but not practice it themselves?

no. the original material, and the 10000x lectures presented by various commanders are more than adequate to get the point across. asshats who are going to do it--would be doing it regardless. but with the current cultural fabric as it is, the USAF needs to give the impression that it will do more and that somehow said actions will prevent its personnel from fucking up.

that said, what has already been done is already at the point of diminishing return.

It's the same mentality with drunk driving. Just be better wingman and supervisors, conduct more training, have a few more commander's calls and all the dipshits will magically quit being dipshits. Worked great so far.

I'm assuming you know that old adage, and are just being facetious now?

And that remark was facetious...

Then what will it take to end this seemingly endless parade of men who harass and undermine military women? I think we need a serious re-education program for all military men.

If we change the gender culture in the military by changing men's hearts and minds, their sexual "nature" won't be a problem.

i agree.

that said, at least 'merica isn't one of those countries where a woman who is raped is not only seen as the guilty party--she's punished for it with death.
