Prepared Floor Remarks by U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa
On the Military Justice Improvement Act
Wednesday, June 19, 2019
 
According to the Pentagon’s estimation, a young woman in the military has a one in eight chance of being sexually assaulted.
 
Unfortunately, many cases are never prosecuted. This is completely unacceptable, and we must do more to prevent assaults, and ensure that survivors get justice.
 
The men and women who have volunteered to place their lives on the line deserve better.
 
The Military Justice Improvement Act would help ensure impartial justice and send the message that sexual assault in the military will not be tolerated.
