Viewpoint: Why the military must start prosecuting sexual criminals

Attorney Susan Burke and retired Air Force Staff Sgt. Colleen Bushnell join Current TV?s John Fugelsang to react to ?a Pentagon report that shows an increase in the number of reported sexual crimes in the military between 2012 and 2011.

Bushnell describes her experience navigating the military justice system after reporting that she had been the victim of sexual assault. ?There were systems put in place that appeared to be as if they were support systems, but they?re not empowered to actually help the victim,? Bushnell says. ?Currently the way the system works is very perpetrator centric, rather than victim centric.?
