Living in a state of ignorance.

From Wikipedia {The Department of Defense estimates there are about 19,000 sexual assaults in the military per year...}

But then I learned, from The Political Carnival...

Via Stripes:

    …Maj. Gen. Michael T. Harrison, commander of Army forces in Japan, was suspended Friday by Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno for allegedly failing to properly investigate a sexual assault complaint.

    Odierno would not discuss Harrison with reporters Friday, but suggested that some Army leaders haven't seen the sexual assault problem clearly as it built in intensity.

    "The amount of reports that are now coming out - people willing to go public, which I think is a good thing - has brought this to a head for me," he said. "Maybe we have a bigger problem than I imagined."
