<h1>" In 2004, nearly 150 women at the Air Force Academy in Colorado came forward with accusations that they had been sexually assaulted by fellow cadets between 1993 and 2003. Many alleged they were ignored or ostracized by commanders for speaking out. A Pentagon task force found that hostile attitudes and inappropriate treatment of women also persisted at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and at the Naval Academy."</h1>
<p>The Fowler Commission issued a blistering report to Donald Rumsfeld and to the Senate and House Armed Services Committees. The panel concluded that " …a serious failure of leadership helped create an environment in which sexual assault became a part of life at the Academy (USAFA)." Moreover, "The panel also accused the earlier Air Force general-counsel investigation of failing to hold anyone accountable and attempting to “shield Air Force Headquarters from public criticism.”</p>
<p>There WAS a serious problem at USAFA resulting in a clean sweep of the top administration among other major policy changes. If I remember correctly, the Secretary of the Air Force was also replaced as a result of this problem and failure of leadership.</p>
<p>snipper, I’m shocked that you treat this so lightly. Are you really aware of what actually took place at USAFA? Do you think top administrators at a service academy would lose their jobs if there wasn’t a major problem?</p>
