This is the second half of the interview from Chapter Twenty, and the Season 2 Finale for Dark Sabre, we are talking about the failure of the CATCH Program which resulted in a Cadet Suicide at the United States Air Force Academy.
The episode gets heavy as there are discussions about the serial rapists being admitted to the Academy, Cadet Suicides, the type of people being recruited to the Academies, and we also discuss Division 1 Sports. We dive into the broken Mental Health Program at USAFA where this survivor and her rapist were assigned THE SAME mental health doctor! Part of this discussion is also about solutions on how to resolve these issues at the Federal Service Academies; and the solutions are very simple. Potential solutions? Make retaliation for mental health and sexual assault reporting illegal; move all sports to Division 3, and charge multiple leaders at the Air Force Academy under RICO.
Air Force OSI and the Office of the JAG are also discussed in this episode, and their levels of incompetence at the Air Force Academy, and how their investigative processes need to change at the Air Force Academy in order to ensure that survivors are getting justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. The process of unrestricted reporting in the military was and is designed to fail to give a false sense of security in the U.S. military; nevermind our Federal Service Academies.
The Association of Graduates is using its money and power at USAFA and the Graduate Community to ensure victims do not get justice.
The Air Force Academy is only used to speak over victims, not to speak for them.
Have the Courage to Command.
