Sexual Assault in the military is a rising problem  and is something we want to make America aware about. It is a taboo sort of topic that does not get a lot of coverage in the news so this is out attempt at getting the word out there. It is one that is both embarrassing for the victim and the military as a whole. We would love to think that every service member is honorable and has values and morals but the truth is, just like in our society, that is not always the case. The convicted have ranged from lower enlisted to Drill Sergeants to senior leaders. There is even an ongoing trial right now where a One-star General is accused of such acts. We have several guests on who have been victims of sexual assault during their military service. These guests are both female and male, which is important because this is not just a female problem. We are hoping other people will listen to the show, and if motivated to do so, call in if they have personal stories that they would feel comfortable sharing. It may not be something they were directly involved in, but maybe a connection they have to a case. We will be talking about the impact these acts have on the victim, their loved ones, the unit and the military as a whole. This is a tough topic but one that needs to be covered. We hope that by covering this topic tonight on Top Talk, it will encourage other victims who may have stayed silent and are still fighting with demons today to come forward and seek help and move beyond such horrific events. 01:31:00Top Talk RadionoMilitary,Leadership,Military Sexual Trauma,Sexual Assault,Selfless ServiceApril is Sexual Assault Awareness month (http://www.sapr.mil/index.php/saam) so CJ and I are dedicating tonight’s show to the topic of Military Sexual Trauma.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/toptalkusa/2013/04/18/episode-18-military-sexual-assault-showMilitaryhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/toptalkusa/2013/04/18/episode-18-military-sexual-assault-show/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/toptalkusa/2013/04/18/episode-18-military-sexual-assault-showThu, 18 Apr 2013 00:30:00 GMTEpisode 18-Military Sexual Assault ShowApril is Sexual Assault Awareness month (http://www.sapr.mil/index.php/saam) so CJ and I are dedicating tonight’s show to the topic of Military Sexual Trauma.

When American contractors and elite military guards were killed and their bodies dragged behind a vehicle through the streets of Fallujah and then burned while hanging on the Fallujah bridge for public display, Carl was one of the SEALs who went in and captured this heinous Iraqi terrorist.  Fast-forward to 2012, Carl wrote and published his book, "Battle on the Home Front: A Navy SEAL's Mission to Save the American Dream," which shared no classified information, but just spoke openly of his belief that we need a new movement of personal responsibility and personal accountability to save the American dream. Behind closed doors, his superiors agreed with him. In front of their superiors, they disagreed with him. Next, the Navy did whatever they could to get Carl to leave, making his life a living hell. Eventually, Carl did voluntarily leave the Navy, with his HONORABLE DISCHARGE intact. This honorable discharge meant that Carl was entitled to the educational benefits of the 9/11 G.I. Bill, which ensured four years of education, a stipend for books and living expenses, so that he could further his education upon leaving the Navy. Then, the Navy tryed to pull a fast one. 00:17:00Top Talk Radionocarl higbie,Battle on the Home Front,SEAL Team 10,fallujah,first amendmentCarl Higbie was a highly decorated Navy SEAL and the "golden boy" of Team 10.
