Watch An Awesome Feminist Senator Teach A U.S. General How To Do His Job

In 2011, there were 3,191 reports of sexual assault in the military. Only 240 moved to trial. In this clip, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is asking the military brass about a case at Aviano Air Base where a general reversed the decision of a military jury and overturned a conviction against a high-ranking officer who attacked a subordinate. This is the first hearing like this in almost 10 years.
