Biden backs removing sexual assault cases from military chain of command
This is great news. Could take until 2023 to implement though and while backing it is great, we need this immediately.
President Biden said Friday he supports the U.S. military removing sexual harassment and assault cases from the chain of command and instead creating "highly specialized units to handle these cases and related crimes."
The big picture: The reorganization comes amid growing criticism on Capitol Hill over the military's ineffectiveness at preventing incidences of sexual assault and harassment in the ranks, which have more than doubled in the past decade, the Wall Street Journal reports.

100% in support of this. So many of these incidences get swept under the rug or dropped because the accuser is intimidated. Hope it is implemented before 2023.

This is a very good thing. There's currently a huge conflict of interest having the military brass "take care" of the reported cases.
