Army officer arrested for sexually harassing 20 soldiers
A 40-year-old Army officer has been taken into custody on charges of sexually harassing 20 subordinate soldiers, the Army said Monday. The major, identified only by his family name Ryu, a company commander of the 6th Army Corps, was arrested Friday on about 60 counts of sexual harassment after some soldiers filed petitions with the authorities.

Well, it's good that they are finally reporting these things and arresting officers for it.
Many male students have told me some pretty shocking stories about abuse like this in the military.
The worst one was one who told me about his close friend. An officer took his friend into the barracks washroom alone and demanded that the private give him head. The private refused and the officer beat him half to death. The officer claimed that the private was being insubordinate and physically attacking him. Since there were no witnesses, the MP's believed the officer. |

| There's been a campaign for the last couple of years to get a hand on this problem. |

Sure, but all too often there's a hands-off approach by the top brass. |

This is bass-acward from what I've heard. My sources say it is VERY much hands-on. |
