WASHINGTON — The Pentagon Tuesday reported a rise in complaints of misconduct against military brass and senior civilian officials over the last two years, and a steady trend in proven allegations of sexual misbehavior and improper relationships among its most senior officials.
The increase in complaints and steady stream of disgraced generals, admirals and senior officials comes despite the Pentagon’s repeated stance that it has a “zero-tolerance” policy for such ethical and legal misbehavior.
On Tuesday, the Pentagon Inspector General reported a 13% increase from fiscal year 2015 to 2017 in the number of complaints alleging misconduct among senior officials, from 710 to 803. Moreover, the Inspector General found that investigators continued to substantiate allegations against senior officials, including sexual misconduct, at a steady rate.

WNU Editor: When many of your top generals, admirals, and defense officials are behaving like this, you have a problem ....
.... military investigators had documented at least 500 cases of serious misconduct among generals, admirals and senior civilian officials for the fiscal years 2013 through 2016.
The culture is changing when it comes to this type of behavior .... and with it comes publicity and legal consequences. I think we are seeing the tip of the iceberg right now.

The USA Today is doing a terrible job at reporting.
They are conflating figures or are given conflated figures and do not push back.
This is a no holds barred site.

It covers bad actors all the time.
I would like to know how many are civilians versus military and how many by service. Maybe that will be useful and maybe it won't. But usually you slice & dice and then reconstitute. All I see in big numbers and conflation. I am not doubting there is a problem; I just don't think they will get handle on it. Maybe The Foundation can go MI5 & MI6.
