"About two-thirds of women and half of men in the Air Force experienced “interpersonal violence” within a period of two years, and most who reported it did not believe that their senior leaders were doing anything about it, according to the results of a survey released Tuesday.
The voluntary survey of 68,000 people was carried out over six weeks in the fall of 2020. Air Force officials said they were struck by the gap between how senior officials thought they were doing in responding to incidents that included bullying, harassment and assault, and how rank-and-file troops felt about their commanders’ performance. “It seems to be uniformly true that people at the lower levels who have experience with these things are telling us that there is a problem, and that senior leadership is not receiving that there is that problem,” Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said in a phone call with reporters. “So, we’ve got an issue right there. At the end of the day, all of this is about leadership.”" Link here. Comment: A bad news cycle for the AF. 11/10/2021 02:35:05 pm
- Deliberately mischaracterizing data drawn from a survey to make it seem that the results represent sentiments expressed from across the entire branch.

Apparently the Secretary of the department finds the data more concerning than you. Does that not give you pause? 11/10/2021 03:48:03 pm

“We clearly have work to do to ensure that interpersonal violence is prevented,” said Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall. “When it does occur, we need to provide needed support to victims and deal effectively with perpetrators of violence – of any type.” 11/10/2021 04:21:21 pm

I understand you to be criticizing the methodology. Did you see that it was designed by RAND? 11/10/2021 04:59:52 pm
