During the 2022 elections, Jennifer-Ruth Green, the Republican candidate in Indiana’s 1st Congressional District, was locked in a tough contest with the incumbent progressive candidate Frank Mrvan. The district’s makeup is D+7, but Green was an attractive candidate who had aggressively raised money and campaigned.

 

About a month before the election, Politico reporter Adam Wren wrote a relatively favorable profile of Green. However, in typical Politico fashion, Wren had a bit of a poison pill to add.

Green’s mostly stellar military record took an unexpected hit in early 2010, according to military records. In an evaluation of her performance spanning from March 15, 2009 to Dec. 15, 2009, she received a “does not meet standards” rating in leadership skills, professional qualities, and judgment and decisions. The evaluation centered on “two instances of lacking judgment while deployed; handling your weapon and wandering away while at a [forward operating base].”

In the first case, she was given a letter of counseling for loading her weapon inside a military facility. The second more serious incident occurred in September, according to her military records, when she and a small group of officers visited the national training center. She left the group to climb into a cramped guard tower where Green says an Iraqi serviceman sexually assaulted her by grabbing her breast and exposing himself.

She said she was advised not to report the assault by a staff sergeant, who was also a military equal opportunity representative. He told her that “if American leadership complained to Iraqi leadership, they would continue to see women as liabilities and limit their ability to serve … .”

The article includes a letter from Major General Troy E. Dunn (commander USAF Personnel Center) to one of the victims that blames a subordinate.  The Major General seems to forget that authority may be delegated, but not accountability.  If anyone should be held to account, it's General Dunn.

This was not just the normal political rhetoric. He actually meant it. And  he was successful....sad to say.

Well, we may have inflation in most other areas, but when it comes to "The buck stops here" it has deflated to a nickel.
