Allegations that sexual affairs were condoned on the Alaska military base that provides the nation’s main defense against a missile attack demand a full investigation, according to the state’s U.S. senators.
Democratic Senator Mark Begich said the allegations, if true, “are not only reprehensible but show a serious loss of focus on the missile defense mission that is critical for the safety of all Americans.” Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski said yesterday she would demand that an Army investigation into Fort Greely ensures “a true zero-tolerance policy for all sexual misconduct among our men and women in uniform.”
