Military Spin

Regarding sexual assaults in the military: “A Pentagon report released May 1 logged a nearly 50 percent increase across all services in a year.” But instead of being shocked by the numbers, Navy Capt. Chuck Marks says he is “heartened.” He is the sexual assault prevention and response officer at U.S. Fleet Forces Command. “It shows more service members are coming forward to seek help and find justice,” he said.

Veteran T.M. comments: “Only in the military can one spin a 50% increase in reported sexual assaults as a “‘positive sign.'”
