Good Grief. Obama Lectures Naval Academy Graduates on Sexual Assault

This was just weird.
Barack Obama lectured the class of 2013 today on sexual abuse in his commencement speech at the US Naval Academy.

CNN reported:

A rash of sexual assaults in the armed forces undermines Americans’ confidence in the military, President Barack Obama told newly commissioned officers at the U.S. Naval Academy Friday.

“Those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that makes our military strong,” Obama told the graduates, who were commissioned as Naval ensigns and Marine Corps second lieutenants.

“That’s why we have to be determined to stop these crimes. Because they have no place in the greatest military on Earth,” Obama continued.

The president’s remarks came amid mounting outrage over sexual abuse cases in the armed forces. Figures show the rate of assaults in the armed forced increasing, and some top officers are under fire for condoning such acts.

It’s not clear if the rate of sexual violence is any higher in the military than in the general public. Nearly 1 in 2 women and 1 in 5 men experienced sexual violence other than rape at some point in their lives.

Of course, the far left believe rape and abuse is what gets soldiers out of bed in the morning.
