Guard units have buried sexual assault allegations, withheld crucial documents from victims and retaliated against women who have come forward, a @CapTimes and @journalsentinel, part of the @USATODAY Network investigation has found. bit.ly/3fH1uOn
The Guard answers to the governor in each of its states but effectively polices itself. The bureaucracy is so impenetrable that commanders can use it as a weapon against victims and whistleblowers. bit.ly/3fH1uOn
