Headlines : Government

Summary:

Is the Pentagon trying to conceal the rape culture that is the military? Of course they are. And finally, members of Congress are beginning to notice, and to say something about it. The only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not they will take any sort of action to hold the DoD accountable. If history is any judge, we shouldn’t expect too much from Congress. Asking the Establishment to discipline itself is an open invitation for superficial justice to prevail. If the lap-dogs of the elite are to be held accountable for their murderous crimes, it is to the people that they must answer, not to the very system of criminal corruption that enables and empowers them to kill.
