Generals have overturned sexual assault convictions — without giving a reason. The head of Sexual Prevention and Response for the Air Force was arrested for drunkenly groping a woman in a parking lot. Is it time for change in the Uniform Code of Military Justice?

Today the President said he’s outraged, too — if it really happened.
