<p>your point was the supe and dant dont listen to the media, when that is not the case at all. the government is definately swayed by the media as evidenced by the fact that there was a congressional investigation on gender relations. the academy knows that perception is reality for the public, that is why we have all the mandatory attendance at sporting events and rules about no talking on cell phones in uniform. the academy is beginning to give the benefit of the doubt to females in more than just sexual assualt or sexual harrassment cases for fear of looking like they are protecting the old boys and discriminating against women.</p>
